On-the-Job Training
Employers
can recoup up to half of wages paid to workers when pre-approved by Heartland
Workforce.
Through on-the-job training for
employment, employers earn as their workers
learn and are trained to their specifications. Employers gain the added benefit
of typically low turnover for such employees after training is completed.
OJT is particularly encouraged in
higher-skill occupations, and can be done in conjunction with classroom
training at educational institutions.
Reimbursements are limited to six months
and may not exceed the time required to acquire the skill needed for the
position.
Contact the Business Services Consultant located within the One-Stop Center near
you for more information.
