Connect with Employee Training
On-the-Job Training (OJT) Businesses can receive a reimbursement of up to 50% of the trainee’s wages when they agree to hire an eligible worker. The dollars received offset the cost of training a new employee the length of the contract. The business provides the training and the eligible worker does the learning, gaining skills unique to your business and industry needs.

CMJTS is the employer of record, and pays the participant wage, FICA, and Worker’s Compensation insurance cost. Work experience opportunities are designed to improve individual skills. The business can use the opportunity to attract new potential workers to their industry or sector.
