The Montana Department of Commerce has awarded 10 additional Montana businesses with Workforce Recovery grants.
The grants will be used to rehire workers who were laid off due to the impacts of COVID-19. The companies will share the sum of $310,000 in an effort to support rehiring 53 employees.
Business Assistance Bureau officials said businesses can apply directly to receive a part of the grant.
“Through the temporary Workforce Recovery program at commerce, Montana businesses that are ready to bring workers back can receive some additional support to sustain those jobs into the future,” said Wayne Johnston, Business Assistance Bureau Chief at Commerce, in a press release. “Businesses can apply directly for these workforce recovery grant dollars to help refill jobs that were lost due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The Big Sky Economic Development Trust Fund Workforce Recovery program gives compensations to companies for the wages of full-time, permanent jobs that are created and are retained for at least six months.
