On The Job Training Program
Advantages To Using The OTJ Training:
- Cuts the cost of wages for employers by a minimum of 50% during the training time.
- Reduces the employer's costs for advertising and recruitment.
- Allows employers to make all hiring and firing decisions.
- Guarantees a quick referral process.
- Requires minimal paperwork.
- May involve a single placement, a number of people for one type of job, or a variety of jobs.
How It Works:
An employer meets with the Business Services Representative to develop a job order indicating what type of people the employer desires and the screening method preferred to evaluate potential candidates (resumes, applications, interviews, etc.)
- Post the job on the CareerLink system.
- A search is then conducted of the eligible applicant pool for people who match the characteristics set by the employer. The employer is then provided the information about potential candidates in the manner in which they have requested.
- The employer decides whom they want to hire and a possible start date. The Business Services staff is notified about the circumstances of the hire.
- The employer and the Business Services Representative negotiate a contract, which includes a training plan, length of training and costs to be reimbursed to the employer for providing the training. It is important to note that this contract MUST be in place BEFORE an eligible client begins working or the opportunity to secure funding will be lost.
