Employer Partnership Program
The Employer Partnership on-the-job training (OJT) program encourages employers to hire new workers by assisting them with the costs of training. You get a paid job, training, and an opportunity to learn a new skill, while the employer receives reimbursement for part of your salary.
To participate in the Employer Partnership program:
- You must be a New Jersey resident who is unemployed or facing an imminent layoff from your current employer.
- You must either be currently receiving unemployment benefits OR must have exhausted your benefits within the past 52 weeks OR must meet the criteria to be regarded as a dislocated worker.
- You must be paid at least $12.00 an hour.
- Jobs must be full-time (at least 32 hours per week), long-term employment.
- Depending on the complexity of skills to be learned, the OJT contract period will range from 4 to 26 weeks.
