Quick Response Training Program (QRT)
Quick Response Training (QRT) is an employer-driven training program designed to
assist new value-added businesses and provide existing Florida businesses the
necessary training for expansion. A state educational facility - community
college, area technical center, school district or university - is available to
assist with application and program development or delivery. The educational
facility will also serve as fiscal agent for the project. The company may use
in-house training, outside vendor training programs or the local educational
entity to provide training. Reimbursable training expenses include:
instructors'/trainers' wages, curriculum development and textbooks/manuals. This
program is customized, flexible and responsive to individual company needs. To
