The investment fund was created by the board to provide funds for customized training, upgrading skills of current employees, developing new training programs, creating new high-skill or high-wage jobs, or retaining employees for new or emerging occupations.
The grant will award a maximum of $21,035 in partnership with Western Texas College for the training of six to eight Farmer’s Design employees.
“Added skills to Farmer’s Design Group will enhance us to be more competitive in the market place and provide new opportunities. The Workforce Board is meeting a need for assistance to rural areas of Texas. I would encourage other small businesses to seek their assistance,” said Fran Farmer, owner of Farmers Design Group.
