Registered Apprenticeship
|
|
Companies in all sectors of the American economy are facing complex workforce challenges in increasingly competitive domestic and global markets. Registered Apprenticeship is the proven solution for recruiting, training, and retaining world-class talent.
To develop and launch a high quality apprenticeship program,
Workforce Solutions can help employers focus on the following key components:
Identify the Occupation/Job Series
- Identify the On-the-Job Learning Competencies
- Develop a Related Instruction Curriculum
- Develop Apprenticeship Standards
- Establish an Apprenticeship Committees |
On-the-Job Training (OJT) helps individuals transition into new jobs in new industries when jobs in their industry are few or no longer available. We reimburse the employer for training expenses incurred when hiring an individual who needs additional training and skills to adequately perform the job.
OJT is also a great resource to offer employers that are willing to hire job candidates participating in Work Based Learning. Are you currently working with a job candidate or employer participating in Work Based Learning? Contact OJT before the Work Based Learning period ends to find out how these two services can work together.
If you would like know more about OJT and how it works, OJT staff is more than happy to visit your office and attend your staff meetings or huddles.
