What exactly is On-the-Job Training (OJT)?
In On-the-Job Training, participants are actually employed and trained by an employer. The employer is reimbursed up to 50 percent of the wage rate of the participant for a limited period of time, to help defray the costs of providing the training and additional supervision related to the training. In other words, OJT may help job seeker customers get their foot in the door with a new employer interested in taking advantage of this financial incentive.
