On-the-Job Training Dollars for Broward County Employers
What Is the On-the-Job Training Program?
Thinking of hiring a new employee? We can make it more affordable! Through WorkForce One Employment Solutions‘ On-the-Job Training (OJT) Program, your business may qualify for substantial reimbursement of your new hires’ wages and training costs.
The OJT Program provides an opportunity for your business to get dollars to train new employees in the skills needed to perform their job effectively and included financial reimbursement ranging from 50% to up to 90% of an OJT employee’s wages during the training period.
OJT is designed to assist employers to hire candidates in need of specific occupational training so they can be retained in regular, full-time employment. This makes it an excellent opportunity for employers looking to build a skilled, long-term workforce while significantly reducing upfront training costs.
Program Eligibility and Requirements
Participation is open to public, private non-profit, or private companies located in Broward County.
OJT employees must receive the same wage and benefits as those in comparable positions.
Workers’ Compensation is required for OJT employees.
Employers partnering with a qualified training provider — such as an IT certification training school — can align OJT funding with in-demand technical skills like CompTIA, Cisco, Microsoft, and cybersecurity, helping new hires gain industry-recognized credentials while on the job.
How IT Certification Training Fits Into the OJT Program
Broward County businesses in the technology sector can use OJT funds to offset the cost of training new hires in high-demand IT disciplines. Programs such as CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, Cisco CCNA, AWS, and cybersecurity boot camps equip employees with the practical, job-ready skills employers need most. By combining OJT reimbursement with accelerated IT certification training, companies in Miami and Fort Lauderdale can build a qualified technical team faster and more cost-effectively than traditional hiring methods allow.
Upcoming OJT Program Orientation
There will be an orientation for the OJT Program on Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 9:30am. This orientation will be held at the WorkForce One office at 2301 West Sample Road in Pompano Beach, FL.
