TRAINING PROGRAMS
ON THE JOB TRAINING (OJT)
Expand your business or hire employees with specialized skills while driving down costs with On-the-Job Training (OJT). A work-based training strategy funded by the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA), OJT offsets the costs of screening, hiring, and training new employees. Ensure your new hires build the specific skills you need with hands-on training while receiving reimbursements for workers’ wages as they complete their program.
Businesses participating in OJT have the opportunity to:
-
Receive reimbursements of up to 50% — in some cases, as much as 75% — of the wages trainees earn during their training.
-
Get prompt reimbursements with a simplified application process and minimal paperwork.
-
Save time and money by relying on the Business Solutions team to screen, assess, and refer candidates.
-
Ensure job-ready candidates who received hands-on training in your work environment.
-
Determine your performance standards, training methods, and which candidates to hire.
