New Hire On-The-Job Training (OJT)

What is the On-The-Job Training Program?

Eligible employers may be able to receive some reimbursement for a portion of an eligible trainee’s wages during an on-the-job training. See On the Job Training for Job Seekers to see employee eligibility guildelines.

The purpose of the On-the-Job Training Program is to assist employers in training and retaining skilled, productive workers. 

The OJT Application provides the Seneca One Stop detailed information, about the employer and their business, that will provide justification for eligibility and participation in the On-the-Job Training Program.

If an employer is eligible to participate, a formal request must be made, training outlines need to be approved, and a contract must be signed. New applications for On-the-Job Training are reviewed on a regular basis.

Seneca One Stop staff will determine if an employer meets requirements of the program.

The outline spells out to all involved the details of the training, and the expected outcomes. The outline is signed by the trainee, the employer and the Seneca One Stop representative.

3) When the training is complete the employer will submit an invoice for payment.
Once it has been determined that an employer is eligible for payment, the completed invoice will be processed for payment.
