The GRWDB has been designated as the administrative entity and grant recipient under WIOA, as funded by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development. As such, the GRWDB is authorized to provide funds and/or reimbursement to eligible employers and/or business owners who can appropriately and effectively provide and administer OJT Programs for unemployed and underemployed adults, youth and dislocated workers. The term “on-the-job training” means a supervised, paid training that takes place on the worksite, e.g. employer’s place of business, allowing the trainees to build, improve and upgrade skills and employment competencies to better their own performance within the business or to harness skills applicable to other business sectors. This OJT Program is intended to assist business owners and current and prospective employees in navigating and keeping up with the ever-evolving and ever-changing expansion of in-demand industry sectors in Hunterdon and Somerset counties, based upon local and state career pathway information. Businesses in Hunterdon and Somerset Counties interested in being considered for an OJT grant from the GRWDB must complete this application and provide the requested documents. After being qualified as an OJT Employer Participant, a business wishing to proceed with an OJT contract with the GRWDB for an individual qualified job candidate must complete the documents which will be reviewed and approved by GRWDB staff.
