Montana’s Primary Sector Workforce Training Grant Program – grant funds to businesses for training of new full-time and part-time workers.

The Primary Sector Workforce Training Grant program is a state-funded program that provides grant funds to businesses for training of new full-time and part-time workers. Full-time is defined as a predominantly year round position requiring an average of 35 hours of work each week. Part-time is defined as a predominantly year round position requiring an average of 25 to 34 hours of work each week. The maximum grant award is $5,000 for each new full-time position and $2,500 for each new part-time position.

The Program is administered by the Department of Commerce with the Department Grant Review Committee making the actual grant award decisions. The Committee may award workforce training grants to primary sector businesses that provide education or skills-based training for new employees.
