Diretrizes do Programa Expresso
A mudança acontece. Expresso ajuda.
The Express Program provides employers fast, simple access to grant-funded training, helping businesses in Massachusetts respond to emerging needs. Last year, the Express Program awarded thousands of training grants totaling more than $17 million dollars, with applications accepted and grants awarded on a rolling basis throughout the year.
- Grant funds are limited to $20,000 per company per calendar year and $3,000 per employee per course.
- Massachusetts businesses with 100 or fewer Massachusetts W-2 employees may apply. In order to qualify, businesses must pay into the Workforce Training Fund. All for-profit companies pay into the fund.
- Todos os trainees devem ser funcionários de folha de pagamento em período integral ou parcial da empresa que recebe um subsídio do Programa Express e devem estar empregados em Massachusetts. (Os estagiários não são obrigados a viver em Massachusetts.)
- Todos os candidatos devem estar preparados para enviar um Certificado de Regularidade (COGS) do Departamento de Receita de Massachusetts. Todos os COGS devem ter o nome legal da empresa e uma Data de Notificação dentro de 6 meses a partir da data de envio da inscrição. Clique aqui para obter seu CPV do Departamento de Receita.
- Empreiteiros ou funcionários de outras empresas (por exemplo, temporários) não são elegíveis para participar de treinamentos financiados por subsídios.
- Eligible employers are encouraged to apply at any time for funding that is right sized to their current needs. Companies with 100 or fewer employees working in Massachusetts may apply and receive more than one Express Program grant at a time, up to a total of $20,000 in new grant funds per calendar year.
Reembolsos
- For any grant application received prior to July 10, 2023, upon completion of an approved course, all grant recipients may request reimbursement for the total approved cost of training, as stipulated in their active Express Service Agreements. (This applies to any approved course that is included in an Express Service Agreement from applications received prior to July 10, 2023, even if training takes place after July 10, 2023.)
- For applications received on or after July 10, 2023:
- For grant recipients applicants with more than 100 MA employees, your Express program application will be closed, and you will be referred to the General Program.
- For grant recipients with 100 or fewer MA employees, upon completion of an approved course, you may receive full reimbursement of the cost of training, up to $3,000 per person, per course.
Treinamento
- Training cannot not begin before the Express Service Agreement start date.
- All grant-funded training must be completed within one year (12 calendar months) of the Express Service Agreement start date.
- The Express Service Agreement start date is automatically set as 21 days from the date of application submission. If the application is approved and a grant contract executed, that date will be the earliest day that grant-funded training can commence. Note: applicants can select course start and end dates specific to the course(s) that they are applying for within the one-year agreement window.
- Each training course should be completed within the timeframe entered in the application. Please notify us if your training schedule changes so we can update our record.
- Employees participating in the training program should not have previously participated in the same or similar training that was funded by a previous Workforce Training Fund grant, either through the Express or General Programs.
- Os cursos que uma empresa está legalmente obrigada a fornecer a seus funcionários não são elegíveis para reembolso sob este programa (por exemplo, OSHA).
- Os candidatos só podem selecionar cursos listados no Diretório de cursos expressos. No entanto, se você estiver interessado em selecionar um curso que não está registrado no momento, você pode incentivar o provedor de treinamento a registrar o curso.
- Os funcionários devem ser pagos de acordo com suas taxas de pagamento regulares durante as horas de treinamento.
- O treinamento virtual ou remoto ao vivo, síncrono e conduzido por instrutor é permitido, mas os funcionários devem participar do treinamento em horário pago. Tarefas ou pré-trabalho também devem ser concluídos em tempo pago.
- Express-funded workplace English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) training is most commonly conducted fully during working hours. However, trainees may volunteer to take part in workplace ESOL training on their own time (i.e. off the clock). A minimum of 50% of employees’ time spent in ESOL training must be on company time and paid at their regular rate.
- A Commonwealth Corporation não endossa a qualidade dos provedores/cursos de treinamento listados no diretório. As empresas devem realizar sua própria pesquisa e são responsáveis por confirmar a disponibilidade e os preços do curso com seus fornecedores de treinamento selecionados antes de enviar uma inscrição.
- A Commonwealth Corporation não oferece o treinamento listado no diretório, nem coordena o treinamento (por exemplo, inscrição, datas de início e término etc.) em nome dos fornecedores listados em nosso diretório.
