Kansas Industrial Training (KIT)

Kansas Industrial Training (KIT) is the Kansas Department of Commerce's training incentive for companies creating net-new jobs in Kansas. It helps employers offset onboarding and skills development for newly hired workers, which makes it most relevant when a business is expanding headcount and needs to get new employees productive quickly. The program is a rolling grant route under Kansas business incentives, but the public pages do not publish a standard award amount or a fixed funding cap. Eligibility is limited to for-profit companies operating in Kansas; non-profits, universities, research organizations, and individuals are not eligible, and no sector restrictions are listed. KIT is best suited to employers with a concrete hiring plan rather than a speculative workforce idea. Applicants work through the Kansas Department of Commerce business resources team to scope a request, so the practical entry point is a company that can show new jobs, a training need, and a Kansas expansion story.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
