To assist recovering businesses, the Workforce and Economic Development Network of Pennsylvania is providing additional grant dollars this year for eligible training. Employers can be reimbursed up to $2,000 for each employee who is eligible for training.

Montgomery County Community College is the administrator of the WEDnetPA grant funding for Montgomery County Businesses.

As a Certified WEDnetPA Training Partner, MCCC’s Workforce Development Division can assist businesses with their customized training needs and pay for the training through the grant.

“Many Montgomery County companies are not even aware that the College’s Workforce Development Division does customized training and helps with grant funding,” said Bernadette DeBias, Director of Workforce Development.

MCCC offers specialized training in problem-solving, root-cause analysis, continuous improvement, information technology, Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Leadership Training, Customer Service, Project Management and more.

MCCC has collaborated with numerous businesses in Montgomery County to provide training for employees, including Victory Bank of Royersford, Secure Components of Norristown, and Bassett Industries of Pottstown, among others.

“We want to help as many Montgomery County businesses as we can,” said DeBias.

Per the WEDnetPA eligibility guidelines, the additional funding will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis and new customers and small businesses will be given priority status.

For questions on how to get started and to discuss your business needs and training plans, contact MCCC Director of Workforce Development Bernadette DeBias at bdebias@mc3.edu.
