South Hill Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on Aug. 7
From Secretary of Labor Megan Healy:
Last month Governor Northam launched the Return to Earn Grant Program to support small businesses with their post-pandemic hiring needs. Through this initiative, Virginia's local workforce development boards will match up to $500 that a qualifying small business pays directly to a new employee in the form of a hiring bonus. Childcare businesses are not required to match.
As we begin to allocate funding, I want to ensure that your partners are made aware of this resource and have the opportunity to apply if interested. More information about which specific businesses and employees are eligible is available here. Interested small businesses should contact their local workforce development board to learn more and can find the best point of contact in the attached spreadsheet.
I would appreciate it if you would share this information with your networks and direct anyone with questions to labor.secretary@governor.virginia.gov. Thank you for your help in getting the word out!
