The Work Immersion and Incumbent Worker Training Grant programs are open for FY20. You can find an attached one-pager that summarizes all of the changes for the fiscal year.
Work Immersion has remained relatively unchanged other than a few administrative changes. The biggest is that new hires are now defined as employees whose hire date was no more than 28 days prior to the start of the contract.
The most significant change is with IWTG. The contract limit has been reduced to $30,000 from $50,000 and an employer may not have two contracts equal more than $30,000 combined. This is to allow more employers the opportunity to participate in the IWTG program.
