On-the-Job Training National Emergency Grants
On June 25, 2010, Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis announced $75 million to provide workers affected by layoffs with on-the-job training (OJT) opportunities. National Emergency Grants provide a method to jump start re-employment for dislocated workers experiencing prolonged unemployment by enabling employers to create training and job opportunities for these individuals. Participants will be given a chance to "earn and learn," which means they will develop applicable occupational skills while earning a paycheck. Employers participating in these OJT projects will receive partial reimbursement to offset the extraordinary cost of training workers. OJT will help workers become proficient in needed skills more quickly, which will serve to encourage employers to hire workers sooner than perhaps initially planned, facilitating the private sector hiring of well-qualified individuals to contribute to their bottom line and spur economic recovery.
These awards are not only intended to deliver OJT services to thousands of unemployed Americans, but also to build the capacity of the workforce investment system to engage in this critical training model in the months and years to come to assist in economic recovery.
