FY 2015 Custom Fit Allocations - Angela J. Oh Last Updated: June 20, 2014
The Custom Fit program administered by the
Utah College of Applied Technology (UCAT) supports economic and workforce development
through training partnerships with Utah companies. Under UCAT's oversight,
the eight regional UCAT campuses, Snow College, and USU-Eastern provide Custom Fit
training to local employers tailored to meet their specific educational needs. The program is designed to attract new businesses and aid in the retention and
expansion of existing ones.
There are Custom Fit training offices
throughout the state. Over the years, Custom Fit has worked with many types and
sizes of businesses from mom and pop shops to the largest employers in the
state. Custom Fit may include specific technical training, safety
certifications, computer skills, leadership/management skills, etc.
During the 2014 General Session, the Legislature
appropriated an additional $500,000 to UCAT for Custom Fit over the $2.7
million base. The table below shows the FY 2014 and FY 2015 allocations, as
