funding to

who require
skills
training to
secure
employment.
With the
financial
assistance
provided by
Skills

Seasonal
Feepayer
is a program
which allows
laid off
workers to
invest in
their own
training if
they choose
and continue
to draw out
their
regular

Insurance
benefits
while in
training.
Since these
workers will
not receive
additional
financial
support for
their
training-related
costs, they
are referred
to as "feepayers."
