Job Training Grants
The Rhode Island Human Resources Investment Council offers a training program for business and industry funded through a job development assessment of 0.21% on the firm's taxable payroll. (Each employer's unemployment tax rate is reduced annually by 0.21% to ensure that this program does not result in a tax increase.) This pool of money is available for industry to create customized training programs tailored specifically for a company and free from income and other restrictions imposed by federally-funded programs.
