On The Job Training

On-the-Job Training (OJT) is a program that assists employers in training new employees.  The employee cannot have any prior experience

in the job for which training is developed.  Employers utilizing OJT may be reimbursed up to 50 percent (50%) of the wage rate of the

new employee to cover the cost of training and supervision.   The maximum time that an employer can be reimbursed is based on the skill

level of the job and the content of the training. To participate an employer must:

• Offer a full time job
• Have an IRS identification number
• Have worker's compensation insurance
• Maintain an adequate system of record keeping
