What is the Incumbent Worker Training (IWT) Program?
The Incumbent Worker Training Program is funded by the Federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA) and administered by Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development (TDOL&WD) and the Local Workforce Investment Area. Through this program, Tennessee is able to provide expense reimbursement grants to businesses for the purpose of providing skills upgrade training to currently employed, full-time workers. Keeping Tennessee’s workforce competitive in a global economy is critical for both the retention of good employees and the retention of existing businesses.
