(Bismarck, ND) — A state program is helping businesses attract skilled workers. The North Dakota Department of Commerce introduced the Relocation Opportunity for Outstanding Talent Grand Program to offer more relocation incentives for employees to help businesses retain them. ROOT says employers must provide a one-to-one match in relocation incentives, including moving expenses, hiring bonuses, or licensing fees. Funding is available through distributed allocated funds and is disbursed when an employee has completed the first pay period after relocation. Applications for the ROOT program will be reviewed in the order they are received with priority given to vulnerable businesses.
