Description of Program and Relief
Kansas Industrial Training and Retraining Programs
The Kansas Department of Commerce administers two training programs designed to assist businesses with training new and existing employees: Kansas Industrial Training (“KIT”) and Kansas Industrial Retraining (“KIR”). KIT is designed to assist firms involved in “net new job” creation. KIR is a job retention tool that helps employees of restructuring companies who are otherwise likely to be displaced because of obsolete or inadequate job skills and knowledge. Examples of eligible expenditures under KIT and KIR include instructor salaries, curriculum planning and development, materials, supplies, textbooks and minor training equipment. Although there is no specific provision related to COVID-19, businesses may be eligible if they meet the eligibility requirements below.

Eligibility Requirements/Restrictions
To be eligible for KIT, firms must show they are creating at least one net new job in the State of Kansas. For new companies, any job that is created in Kansas is a “net new job.” For expanding companies, a “net new job” is any job that is created over and above the employee base, which is determined by calculating the average number of permanent full- and part-time employees over the preceding 12 months.
To participate in KIR, a company must retrain at least one existing position at an average wage equal to or greater than the median wage for their county as well as show that the employee to be trained will likely be displaced because of obsolete or inadequate job skills and knowledge.
