The purpose of the OJT program is to help area businesses become more competitive by assisting with costs associated with training new employees.

The OJT Program has two goals. First, it seeks to strengthen the local economy by insuring that area businesses have the skilled employees they need to compete, grow and create more good-paying jobs. Secondly, it strives to provide a practical, cost-effective way for area workers to acquire the skills they need to increase their earnings and achieve economic self-sufficiency.

Employment Connection administers the On-the-Job Training (OJT) Program under the authorization of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998. OJT may be provided to eligible WIA customers who are assessed as “in need” of training services in order to obtain or retain self-sufficient wages.
