NC Incumbent Workforce
Development Program
The North Carolina Incumbent Workforce Development Program serves the interest of both the State’s employers and their employees by supporting access to high-quality, market-driven education and skill training. Through the program, established North Carolina businesses are provided funding to train current workers in new and/or upgraded skills. The program is designed to benefit businesses by enhancing the skills of employees, thereby increasing employee productivity and the potential for company growth. Training in portable skills results in a more highly skilled and versatile workforce that contributes to North Carolina’s ability to attract new businesses and creates an environment conducive to expansion of existing businesses.
The North Carolina Commission on Workforce Development and the state’s 24 Local Workforce Boards, established under the Workforce Investment Act, cooperatively administer the Incumbent Workforce Development Program.

The 2008 North Carolina Living Income Standard
To better inform the debate around work, wages and opportunity, the North Carolina Budget and Tax Center developed the Living Income Standard (LIS), a market-based approach for estimating how much income a working family with children needs to pay for basic expenses. Updated since 2001, the LIS provides a more nuanced assessment than otherwise is available of how much it truly costs to make ends meet in the Old North State.
Please click here for more information about the LIS and a summary of the Detailed Living Income Standard Budgets, by Family Type and County, 2008, for the nine counties in the Eastern Carolina Workforce Development Board area.
