On the Job TrainingOn the Job Training

What we will learn in this session:

– Managing an OJT Program can be as difficult as you want it to be.

– Casting a wide net to create a local program.

– Convince employers that they have nothing to lose, everything to gain.

– How to maintain the momentum.



Region 5 OJT NEGS:

9 Projects Operating in Region 5

– Approximately $18 Million or…

– 24% of the $75 Million funded throughout ETA’s six Regions



Reported Challenges to implementation:

– It’s the economy

– Prolonged Unemployed = Difficult to Sell

– No one understands this

– Everyone who knew how to do this retired after JTPA

– There’s too much paperwork!

– The employer who was knocking on my door last July isn’t returning my phone calls.



The problems may be real, but so are the solutions.

What’s worked for Missouri may work for you.
