What is OJT? OJT is a wage reimbursement program that defrays the cost of hiring and training a new employee. In recognition of these costs, 50% of the first 240 hours' wages are repaid to you. Who participates? Skilled job seekers who have been laid off, are making career changes, or are re-entering the labor market and have accessed East County Career Center services. How does OJT affect the employer/employee relationship? Your company policies and procedures are not affected. Is there a lot of red tape? No, the East County Career Center "takes the hassle out." We perform virtually all of the paperwork. How do I participate? Call East County Career Center at (619) 590-3900, or e-mail susanr@workforce.org and one of our business strategist will contact you.
