We are offering OSHA classes, utilities training, First Aid/CPR training, COSS courses and many more classes at no cost to qualified businesses.
Does your company employ 50 people or less? Have you been in business for at least three years? Then you might be eligible to receive training through the
Louisiana Department of Labor (LDOL) Small Business Employee Training Program (SBET).
SBET is designed to benefit your business by assisting in the skill development of existing employees through individual, off-the-shelf training and the Safety Council is an Authorized Training Provider. Employers are reimbursed for tuition and required textbooks and manuals once the training has been completed and proper documentation has been submitted to the LDOL. Training costs cannot exceed $3,000 per trainee per state fiscal year (July 1 – June 30).
For a list of Safety Council courses that qualify for reimbursement through the SBET program, visit www.safetylca.org/t/CourseAZ.asp?loc=t&tag=t1&pg=CourseAZ.asp and look for the courses designated as “GRANT ELIGIBLE.”
Once you have identified eligible courses and the employees that will take them, you can visit www.laworks.net and click “online services” and then click “Small Business Employee Training Application.” Print the instructions for easy reference. You will need to create your own login and have your company’s Federal Tax and Unemployment ID Numbers available.
Helpful Hints
• When typing your Federal Tax ID Number do not include the dash
• Don't be alarmed if you get a disclaimer that says, “your company MAY NOT be eligible to participate in the SBET program.”
• If you receive other error messages, recheck your numbers and if that doesn’t correct the problem call the telephone number in the message.
• The Safety Council is a SBET Authorized Training Provider but the drop down menu on the LDOL website may not yet be updated. You may still submit your application by printing a hardcopy and writing “Safety Council” in the "Training Provider" section.
If you have any questions regarding the SBET training available through the Safety Council, contact Dianna Braud (225) 766-0955 ext. 125 or dbraud@safetylca.org.
