Workforce Training
The Workforce Training component provides comprehensive workforce development solutions for business. The synergy created by the Alliance of matching qualified candidates with employer needs is creating some innovative approaches to identify and meet specific training needs. Services available to employers include:
ON-THE-JOB (OJT) REIMBURSEMENT
Employers can receive a reimbursement of up to 50% of a trainee’s wages when they agree to hire and train an eligible worker.
EMPLOYMENT TRAINING PANEL (ETP)
Do you want your employees to learn new skills? Employers choosing to participate in ETP can utilize the cash reimbursements provided by the program to offset the cost of developing and implementing customized training programs for their current or new employees.
