Training Opportunities that will Take Your Business to the Next Level

An incumbent worker is a person who is currently employed and could benefit themselves and their employer by upgrading their skills through educational and training opportunities.

The Incumbent Worker Training Program is intended to offset a portion of the businesses’ costs to train and upgrade the skills of its incumbent workers.

With staff development help from Rural Minnesota CEP (RMCEP), you can afford to improve your workforce with skills and develop opportunities for growth within your company.
