What are the requirements for On-the-Job Training?
- "OJT is provided by an employer in the public, private non-profit,
or private sector.
- A contract may be developed between the employer and the local program
that provides occupational training for the WIA program participant
in exchange for the reimbursement of up to 50 percent of the wage rate
to compensate for the employer's extraordinary costs.
- The local program must not contract with an employer who has previously
exhibited a pattern of failing to provide OJT participants with continued
long-term employmentwith wages, benefits, and working conditions that
are equal to those provided to regular employees who have worked a similar
length of time and are doing the same type of work.
- An OJT contract must be limited to the period of time required for
a participant to become proficient in the occupation for which the training
is being provided.
- In determining the appropriate length of the contract, consideration
should be given to theskill requirements of the occupation, the academic
and occupational skill level of the participant, prior work experience,
and the participant's individual employment plan."

The intent is to have a highly structured employer-specific work activity,
which provides opportunities for training and/or eventual employment.
The customer's salary and benefits are provided by the One Stop Career
System while the employer provides the training. In addressing customer
needs this program may also be utilized in the public and private not-for-profit
agencies to further enhance work opportunities.
- Work Experience in the public or nonprofit sector
An activity in which customers are assigned to public or private non
profit agencies that provide them with opportunities to develop, demonstrate
or maintain basic work habits while performing useful tasks. Again,
the customers salary and benefits are provided by the One Stop Career
System.
- On-the-Job Training
An activity in which customers are trained at worksites for particular
jobs. The training is mostly active learning-by doing and customers
immediately apply the skills they learn. Customers are employed by private,
or public sector employers and, while engaged in productive work, receive
training that provides the skills and knowledge essential to the full
and adequate performance of the job. Employers are reimbursed up to
100% of the wages paid to customers to offset training costs.

An activity in which a customer is assigned to seek employment. Job
Search activities are supervised in an individual setting and include,
at a minimum, counseling, job-seeking skills training and provision
