The North Carolina Incumbent Workforce Development Program serves the interest of both the State's employers and their employees by supporting access to high-quality, market-driven education and skill training. Through the program, established North Carolina businesses are provided funding to train current workers in new and/or upgraded skills. The program is designed to benefit businesses by enhancing the skills of employees, thereby increasing employee productivity and the potential for company growth. Training in portable skills results in a more highly skilled and versatile workforce that contributes to North Carolina's ability to attract new businesses and creates an environment conducive to expansion of existing businesses.
