ON-THE-JOB TRAINING


The On-the-Job Training (OJT) program provides reimbursements to employers to help compensate for the costs associated with skills upgrade training and loss of production for newly hired employees.

OJT can assist employers who are looking to expand their business and need additional staff trained with specialized skills. OJT employers may a receive reimbursement of 50 - 75 percent of the wage rate of OJT trainees to help defray personnel training costs.
