On the Job Training*
Would you like to train an employee to meet your needs and get paid for training time? Consider On the Job Training (OJT) - an individualized training program, designed and conducted at the actual work site. The job applicant receives the specific skill training needed to maintain employment in that field.
The OJT Process
Step One
OJTs are arranged on an individual basis between the job applicant, employer and vocation consultant.
Step Two
The employer agrees to provide adequate training for entry into the job and a salary equivalent to that of similar positions.
Step Three
After successfully completing the designated OJT period, it is anticipated that the trained applicant will remain on the job.
Step Four
The employer receives reimbursement for the training costs.
The Benefits of OJT Training
Candidates are selected from a pool of pre-screened applicants.
- OJTs are tailored to meet your needs.

- You receive a financial reimbursement.
