On-the-Job Training Program

Are you struggling to find qualified employees? Have you updated your job postings and still cannot find the right person? If your business is willing to train individuals for the skills they need, consider our On-the-Job Training (OJT) program.

OJT is a federal program funded by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), lets you hire and train skilled workers and be reimbursed for your efforts.

Here are some of the key highlights about our OJT program:

• As an employer, you’ll mitigate many of the costs associated with training a new employee.
• Working with the Capital Region Workforce Development Board, we help you find the right individual when you need it. Our goal is to help reduce the time and money it takes to find the right candidate.
• If the skills you need may be hard to find, OJT will help you train a new hire the way you want.
• In exchange for training your new employee, your business will receive up to 50% of their wages for six months or until we reach the $10,000 maximum benefit.
• There is minimal paperwork involved.
