The Norristown-based Life Science Career Alliance is promoting job training grants for companies working in the sector throughout the region, reports the Philadelphia Business Journal.
This spring, according to Colleen Hamilton, executive director of the alliance, the Montgomery County Department of Workforce and Economic Development was awarded a $200,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry for an on-the job training grant program open to bioscience companies in the five-county region.
The on-the-job training grant program allows employers to receive a maximum of $3,600 per individual during a defined onboard/training period--no longer than six months--immediately following a hire.
