— Program Overview —

On-the-Job Training Program (OJT) is a federally funded program that helps employers hire and train workers for full-time, long-term employment. Employers can receive assistance with recruiting, pre-screening, and hiring new employees, as well as help with building a workforce trained with skills tailored to the employer's needs.

— The Goal —

The program aims to link job seekers to in-demand occupations that allow for long-term employment while assisting local employers with offsetting the cost of hiring and training. 

How to Get Started

Keep in Mind

→ Employers must have the OJT paperwork in place prior to the employees' first day of work.

→ Employees must offer the same treatment & compensation for OJT participant employees as workers in the same or similar positions.

→ Employers must not have laid off workers from the same or similar positions, and may NOT use the OJT to displace current works or reduce hours, wages or benefits.
