Human Resource Development Foundation, Inc. (HRDF) has been awarded a National Dislocated Worker Grant for Job Driven Statewide On-The-Job Training (OJT) services to reimburse employers to hire and train eligible dislocated workers.
Reimbursement rates to employers can be a maximum $10,000 and can last up to six months or 1,040 hours, depending on the skill level of the position. OJT contracts will be negotiated with employers that can demonstrate their ability to train participants and document what skills will be acquired. Employers must be in good standing, and the wage reimbursement rate will be based on employer size with the sliding scale requirements as follows:
- Up to 90 percent of reimbursement with 1-50 employees
- Up to 75 percent of reimbursement with 51-250 employees
- Standard 50 percent of reimbursement with 251+ employees
