These grants pay for certain in-demand job trainings by eligible providers.
With Individual Training Grants (ITGs), eligible New Yorkers can get job trainings from a range of providers. ITGs pay for course tuition, registration fees, testing fees, and books. Eligible courses include trainings for jobs in healthcare, technology, transportation, and security service.

- 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.

The schedule varies by training and providers.
