Money for TrainingToday, many business managers find it hard to balance the cost associated with training against the immediate needs of the business.  Does this sound like you or your manager? If so, there are potential grant funds available through the CT Department of Labor for APICS training for you or your workforce. The value to your company could be up to $50,000. Bob Kennedy, our education coordinator, has already helped several companies complete the application process. If you are interested in a training program, please contact Bob now, as new funds get allocated very quickly. It does take some time to go through the application process so please don't wait. Bob can be reached by email at BKennedy@apics-newhaven.org or by phone at 203-269-4067. He can review your needs and help you apply for the grant. These funds are only available for a limited time, so please contact Bob right away.

We have a variety of options available now, but our goal is to meet our members’ needs.  Please review our current schedule and contact Bob with questions or to register.
