 U.S. Dept of Labor - Trade Readjustment Allowances: The Federal Trade Act provides special benefits under the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program to those who were laid off or had hours reduced because their employer was adversely affected by increased imports from other countries. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) provides special benefits under the NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance (NAFTA-TAA) program to those who were laid off or had hours reduced because their employer was adversely affected by increased imports from Mexico or Canada or because their employer shifted production to either of these countries. These benefits include paid training for a new job and financial help in making a job search in other areas or relocation to an area where jobs are more plentiful. Those who qualify may be entitled to weekly TRA after their unemployment compensation is exhausted. (FULL TEXT VERSION)
 

             

Key to Business Success is a Skilled Workforce

Let Medina County Workforce Development assist your business in the cost related to the training of your future employees with an "On the Job Training Program" for eligible participants.  
 
As available fully qualified recruits become more difficult to find, numerous returning veterans and those still on unemployment have skill sets which closely match, but do not fully match your employment needs.  Let us help you in defining a training program for these job applicants, and aid in offsetting some of those costs attributed to that training.
