The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) gives businesses funds to provide OJT to eligible individuals to train them in a skilled or semi-skilled occupation.
What is OJT?
On-the-Job Training is a method of training new employees at your worksite, using the company's skilled employees as instructors. OJT provides a unique opportunity for employers to hire and save money on training at the same time. On-the-job training is a contractual agreement made between an employer and Virginia Career Works South Central. The employer agrees to hire and provide substantive On-The-Job training to a qualified individual. Virginia Career Works South Central will reimburse the employer up to 50% of the training period wage, up to the participant's individual account limit.
How does OJT benefit your business?
Employers are reimbursed up to 50% of a new employee's starting wage rate to offset extraordinary training costs. Reimbursement lasts from three months up to 6 months, depending on the complexity of the job and the current skills and qualifications of new employees.
Who Should Attend?
Any employer of any size with job openings.
