EverythingHR will conduct a complimentary training needs assessment and work with your company to identify appropriate training topics and training populations. EverythingHR will then propose a solution that outlines costs and state reimbursement for your training. State reimbursement is based on a “per trainee basis” (for each eligible training hour each eligible trainee receives). Employers may receive 8 to 200 hours of training per trainee.
