Dear Employer:

Oftentimes the best candidate for the job is not necessarily
the most experienced one. Sometimes the best candidate has a positive attitude
and great work habits, but lacks specific occupational skills needed for the
job. Employers frequently interview job seekers that would be a good hire….if
training were available to better prepare them.

On the Job Training (OJT) gives employer the opportunity to
tap into a pool of workers who are good candidates for a job but may need
additional training to be qualified. Funding for the OJT’s comes from various
programs that help job seekers become qualified for the marketplace. Employers
benefit in many ways:

• Employers make all the hiring decisions and
  tailor the training.
• Up to 90% of the employee’s wage is reimbursed
  by the participating agency.
• The employer has the opportunity to train
  employees to meet their business needs.
• OJT hires are more loyal to employers that give
  them good job opportunities through this training option.
• Employers also save on recruiting, screening,
  and new employee training costs.

OJT is provided for occupations with an established hourly
wage. Training length is negotiable and there is no cost for OJT services.

If an appropriate candidate is available, an agency
representative will contact you and an interview will be arranged with the
candidate. If you determine you would like to work with the candidate, you will
be asked to enter into an OJT Agreement with the assistance of the agency
representative.
