Wage reimbursement program is extended

Arapahoe/Douglas Works’ HIRE Colorado wage reimbursement program for Colorado businesses has been extended through Sept. 30. Receive up to $6,000 in cash reimbursements for each eligible new hire.

Additionally, the reimbursement is now available for all open positions within a company, not just new job creation.

The Arapahoe/Douglas County residency restrictions for applicants have been relinquished. This means any Colorado resident can qualify a company for the reimbursements if they meet the two other eligibility requirements:

Candidates must have a child under age 18

Candidates must have a household income under $75,000 per year.

Funding has been extended through Sept. 30, which means there is plenty of time to place individuals with a company that will qualify for additional reimbursements.

We are now reimbursing 100 percent of the hourly wages, up to $6,000 per new hire, and up to five placements within your company.
