• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 54: State Government

Text

The workforce enhancement council shall recommend to the commissioner the approval of
grants to training providers, businesses, and institutions of higher education assigned primary
responsibility for workforce training in this state to be used to create or enhance training
programs that address workforce needs of private sector companies. A grant made under this
section may be used for curriculum development, equipment, recruitment of participants, and
training and certification for instructors but may not be used to supplant funding for current
operations. The department may distribute funds under this section after:
1. The division of workforce development certifies that a proposed training program
meets a critical workforce shortage in a target industry or other high-demand
occupation and is expected to lead to employment in this state; and
2. The proposed recipient provides the department with detailed documentation of private
sector participation, including the availability of one dollar of matching funds for each
dollar of state funds.
