Pierce College Business & Industry Training       

Pierce College can apply for training funds on behalf of eligible companies through the Job Skills Program (JSP).

The process is based on competitive application and JSP grant funds are available beginning July 1st of each year until all funds are allocated. Companies that are awarded a grant must spend out all funds by June 30th of the following year.

JSP supports three types of training projects. Each is a tool to enhance the competitiveness of Washington’s economy and increase employment opportunities.

1. New employee training projects

2. Retraining projects

3. Upgrade training projects

Pierce College has a proven track record of providing application assistance, curriculum development, selection and oversight of trainers, training evaluation and on-going project management when working with companies involved with JSP grants.
