Frequently Asked Questions
Q: The Private Partner Information Form asks for the average percentage increase in wages that will be paid to trainees in upgraded jobs. What does this mean?
A: This refers to the average percent difference between the wages to be paid at the start of the training project and the wages to be paid at the completion of the training project for a specific occupation. For example, if a wage at the beginning of the project is $10 per hour and the wage at the completion of the project is $11 per hour, then the percent increase for this job is 10 percent. This is calculated by taking the difference of the end wage minus the beginning wage and dividing by the beginning wage. Average this calculation for all upgraded jobs to arrive at the average percentage increase.
Q: Can an employer participate in consecutive Skills Development Fund projects?
A: As the steward of the SDF program, TWC is tasked with ensuring the equitable distribution of funds throughout the state. Therefore, a business will not be able to participate in a new SDF project for a period of 6 months from the ending date of the most recent SDF contract in which it was a partner. This is also applicable for businesses that are amended into an existing contract. The only allowable exception is if a business is expanding and needs training for new employees.
