The Workforce Investment Act provides for the local Workforce Investment Board to establish policies and procedures for customized and upgrade training.

However, according to the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration’s (DOLETA) Federal Register (20 CFR Part 652, et al. § 663.720; WIA Interim Final Rule), customized training of an eligible employed individual may be provided for an employer or a group of employers when;
A. The employee is not earning a self-sufficient wage as determined by Local Board policy;
B. The requirements in 20 CFR Part 652, et al. § 663.715 are met; and
C. The customized training relates to the purposes described in 20 CFR Part 652, et al § 663.705 or other appropriate purposes identified by the Local Board.
In addition the WIA § 101 (8) and the Federal Register § 663.715 defines “customized training” as:
A. that is designed to meet the special requirements of an employer (including a group of employers);
B. that is conducted with a commitment by the employer to employ, or in the case of incumbent workers, continue to employ, individual on successful completion of the training; and
C. for which the employer pays for not less that 50 percent of the cost of training.
