Find Government Grants for Employee Training

I'm sure you've seen the commercial on TV that features the crazy-dressed man standing in front of Washington, D.C., monuments screaming about how easy it is to get FREE! government grants for everything from your electricity bill to your dog's flea collar. I always wonder who buys his book, and I'm always skeptical when I see articles promising small business owners that it's really easy to get the government to help you pay for some portion of your business.

But when I read this Wall Street Journal article about available government grants to pay for employee training and development, I was a bit more convinced. The WSJ is a credible news source--not a crazy screaming man. And the second sentence of the article proves why they're credible: They admit that it takes a lot of time. But if you have the time and the determination, it turns out there is money available to help you train your staff--if you know where to look.
