In addition to on-site training throughout North Snohomish County, EvCC is reaching out to hear from the community. Recently the college welcomed over 80 participants to EvCC's "
Spotlight on North Snohomish County: Education for Economic Vitality" where community members and industry partners were invited to share their ideas and let the college know how we can meet the growing demands in the economy. The college will use this information to expand and develop programs in the region.

Washington State provides Job Skills (JSP) funds to qualifying companies to substantially offset the cost of employee training. JSP Training is customized to meet employers' specific needs and is delivered to new or current employees at the work site or in a classroom. A central focus of JSP is to provide training and employment for those at risk of losing their jobs due to technological or economic changes.
Your business is eligible to apply for the Job Skills Program if:
You are a Washington employer
Your business is in need of assistance for employee training for the purpose of remaining competitive in the marketplace
Your employees need skill training to ensure or improve their employability
You can provide dollar-for-dollar match of all grant funds (in salaries, benefits, in-kind contributions, and cash.)
Upcoming JSP Deadline: June 1, 2016

If approved, we'll set up a customized training plan to take place at your site, our site, or a combination - whatever meets your needs.
