Piedmont Triad Regional Workforce Development Board's Rubric for In-Demand Occupations

Providing job seekers and employees with the quality training needed to fill the most in-demand occupations in our region is a critical part of what we do. To insure the students receive the quality of training needed to guarantee their success, we require training providers to meet certain quality standards. Piedmont Triad Regional Workforce Development Board (PTRWDB) uses the following rubric for training providers. Training must meet criteria 1-4 and must meet 5 OR 6. Determination will be made within two weeks time and you will be contacted via email.

You must be an approved training provider with the state of North Carolina before you can be approved in our region.
