Delta College provides a competitive advantage to businesses who are expanding or newly locating their facility to our region, by providing The Michigan New Jobs Training Program (MNJTP). This economic development tool offers new and expanding businesses the ability to train their workforce at virtually no cost. 

MNJTP is an incentive program for businesses allowing tax dollars normally paid to the State of Michigan in payroll withholding tax, instead to be diverted to pay for employee training. This results in thousands of dollars of free training for new employees in qualifying positions and the ability to train them after they are hired through the term of the contract.

MNJTP is designed to be mutually beneficial for the business and Delta College. Businesses working with Delta College train their employees and are able to upskill their expanding workforce. The Great Lakes Bay Region benefits as businesses experience success and the economy grows.
