Bellevue, WA - May 6, 2003 - With the approval of Integrated Project Solutions as a Washington State Eligible Training Provider, qualified attendees of Integrated Project Solutions training courses can have their training fees reimbursed by the federal government. Training fee reimbursement is an additional Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefit paid to eligible dislocated workers enrolled in and making satisfactory progress in a full-time training program approved by the Unemployment Insurance Division (ESD). The UID began authorizing training benefits on February 14, 2000 to eligible claimants who qualify for: (1) an Individual Training Account voucher funded by Title 1-B of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), or (2) additional weeks of unemployment insurance benefits through the Washington State Training Benefits Program.

"In an unstable economy, project management job skills are in high demand - efficient and effective project management is one of the key methods of reducing budget overruns and delays," says Charles Morton, President of Integrated Project Solutions. "As a professional project management firm that teaches some of the more advanced, and immediately useful, industry skills, it is important for us to demonstrate that our training courses provide tangible results. Being approved as an Eligible Training Provider is important because it shows that the U.S. government recognizes the solid advantage our training gives to potential employees."

To receive training fee compensation, you must enroll for training within 90 calendar days of the date you are notified by the Employment Security Department (ESD) about the eligibility requirements for training benefits.
