The Workforce
Training Express Fund continues to be a hot
topic with firm and business leaders – and for good reason.
Through this state program, firms and companies can be
reimbursed $30,000 each year on their training costs. If you
don’t use it, you’ll lose it, so as we enter the final quarter
of the year, I want to make sure you don’t leave money on the
table.
Employers who contribute to the Department of Unemployment
Assistance (DUA) qualify for this program as a benefit of those
contributions, so make sure to use these funds!
This is the best way to get quality CPE for free – all
MassCPAs conferences, seminars and team trainings qualify for
this program. Since last July, 237 firms/companies have
taken advantage of and
saved more than $750,000 on their CPE with
MassCPAs. This year, more
than 100 firms/companies have already benefited
from this incredible opportunity. Browse our website for
upcoming conferences
and seminars
or contact Julia Ekelund to
create a training plan specifically for your team, virtually or
in person.
MassCPAs will walk members through the process of applying for
reimbursement – simply contact Julia for assistance. While the
paperwork can take some time initially, after you have gone
through the process once, it is simple to repeat (and of
course, we are always here to help you at any time). You must
register and apply for reimbursement three weeks prior to the
start of the training, so don’t delay.
The program resets on January 1, so if you’ve already met the
$30,000 cap this year, now is a good time to make a training
plan for 2023. Our team is happy to plan your courses for next
year based on your needs and interests, so email Julia to get
started.
Lastly, MassCPAs will be closed on Monday, September 5. Have a
safe and relaxing Labor Day weekend!
