Apply for a grant for in-demand trainings

—

These grants pay for certain in-demand trainings by eligible providers.

With Individual Training Grants (ITGs), eligible New Yorkers can get job training from a range of providers. ITGs pay for your tuition, registration fees, testing fees, and books. Eligible courses include trainings for jobs in healthcare, tech, transportation, and security.

Who it's for

To qualify for an ITG, you must:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Have an updated resume
• Be looking for a job or currently employed and making less than $63,928 per year
• Be ready to work immediately after training
• Have a minimum of a high school diploma or equivalency and work experience (some occupations require a degree)

Specific trainings may have other requirements.

Schedule

The schedule varies by training and provider.
