I have just submitted my application to the Express Program, now what?

Thank you for your interest and application to the Workforce Training Fund Express Program! Here is what you can expect in the next few weeks:

Once submitted, your application will go into review, and a decision will be made within 21 days from the date of application submission. You should receive an automatic notification to your email address once your application is submitted. If you do not receive any notification, you are welcome to follow-up with our team at express@commcorp.org to confirm we have received your application. 

All correspondence will be sent to the email address of the "Primary Contact" that you indicate in your application. 

To ensure that messages sent from the Express Program are not inadvertently sent to spam, we recommend you ask your IT department to add "express@commcorp.org" and these DocuSign emails/domains to your company's Safe Sender List.

REJECTION:

Applicants that provide a faulty Certificate of Good Standing, or yield an unsatisfactory compliance screening from the Department of Unemployment Assistance, will be notified within 7 business days.

Review our article on the elements of compliance screening:

What compliance checks are required to be approved for a Workforce Training Fund Grant?

The notification will come in the form of a rejection email and will outline the issue(s) and solutions. Once the issue(s) have been rectified, you will have to submit a new application which will reset your review window to 21 days.

APPROVAL:

If your application is approved, we will issue a contract (formally known as a “Service Agreement”) and will email the document to the point of contact for your organization. The email will be sent via DocuSign and will contain your agreement, a copy of your application, a reimbursement request form, and an optional Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) form.

To fully execute your Express Grant, you will have to review and sign the service agreement prior to the start of training.

IMPORTANT: If you have not received an email from the Express Program or DocuSign by 4 days prior to the start of training, check your spam inbox and search for express@commcorp.org, and if no results are found, email us directly and request a status update.
