North Dakota New Jobs Training Program
The North Dakota New Jobs Training Program provides incentives to businesses that are creating new employment opportunities through business expansion and relocation to the state.

Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC)
WOTC is a federally funded program designed to encourage employers in the private sector to hire qualified job seekers (from nine target groups) who face barriers to gainful employment. The Small Business and Work Opportunity Tax Act of 2007 extended this program through August 31, 2011.
