Vermont Systems, an employee-owned recreation management software company headquartered in Essex Junction, has received a workforce development grant of $150,353 through Department of Economic Development’s Vermont Training Program (VTP).

The grant will be used to help train over 100 employees on their enterprise suite of software products. Vermont Systems’ parks and recreation software solutions are installed around the world for the U.S. military and across the country for municipalities and universities.

“The support from the State of Vermont, including grants from the VTP, allows our employees to enhance their skills by participating in a variety of challenging technical and customer service-oriented training programs,” said Barry Pius, Chief Operating Officer of Vermont Systems, Inc. “The grant provided by the State of Vermont will support VSI’s ongoing commitment to provide industry-leading products and services. It is those products and services that allow our customers to be recognized as heroes in their communities at home and abroad.”

“Vermont Systems is a strong regional employer that is growing while offering competitive wages and benefits to new employees.” said Joan Goldstein, Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Economic Development. “They are a great example of the types of jobs and companies we are trying to attract to the Green Mountains.”

The company is also expanding their current Essex Junction space to add additional employees and to streamline their departments and processes.
