Community College Training That Counts Let us improve your organization

Customized Workforce Training Community colleges will partner with business and industry to offer customized training programs to achieve desired workforce training goals. Training plans are designed to be flexible and practical while producing highly skilled workers. Online Workforce Training Workforce training provided through online methods will be reimbursed based on the rate agreed upon between MCCB and the college with documentation of successful completion of the course(s). Online course (s) must be developed by the college or offered by a third- party provider, and must include proper documentation of actual cost. Train-The-Trainer Cost Costs are allowed for individuals to attend train-the-trainer sessions. Approved training in this area should provide the company with a resource to train employees in a discipline not currently available through the local community or junior college. A local college must demonstrate that the requested training cannot be reasonably provided by another community or junior college prior to seeking out of system providers. Vendor Training Reimbursement for vendor training will be considered on an individual project basis. Vendor training is training provided by a third party, not affiliated with the company or the local community/junior college, that: (1) has supplied equipment, software, or other materials to the company and (2) is providing training on utilization of the supplied item(s). Vendor training must be on the specific piece of equipment or software. Vendors may not be a private trainer providing training to the college or the company for purposes other than a deliverable item as indicated above. On-site vendor training costs shall be reimbursed for one-half of the daily cost, not to exceed $1,000 a day, with a 10-day limit for reimbursement per training area. A copy of the invoice from the vendor must be furnished to the college for reimbursement. Training shall be obtained at the closest location to the industry. Off-site vendor training is limited to no more than (2) individuals per training area. Travel costs for off-site vendor training will be reimbursed according to the set rates listed under the Train-the-Trainer Cost category.

Reimbursements per trainee will be limited to maximum of two (2) out-of-state trips per fiscal year. Receipts for meals must be kept on file by each college.
