On-the-Job Training (OJT) and Customized Training

20 CFR 663.700 - What are the requirements for on-the-job training (OJT)?

  • Section Number: 663.700
  • Section Name: What are the requirements for on-the-job training (OJT)? 
    (a) On-the-job training (OJT) is defined at WIA section 101(31). 

OJT is provided by an employer in the public, private non-profit, or 

private sector. A contract may be developed between the employer and 

the local program that provides occupational training for the WIA 

participant in exchange for the reimbursement of up to 50 percent of 

the wage rate to compensate for the employer's extraordinary costs. 

(WIA section 101(31)(B).)

    (b) The local program must not contract with an employer who has 

previously exhibited a pattern of failing to provide OJT participants 

with continued long-term employment with wages, benefits, and working 

conditions that are equal to those provided to regular employees who 

have worked a similar length of time and are doing the same type of 

work. (WIA section 195(4).)

    (c) An OJT contract must be limited to the period of time required 

for a participant to become proficient in the occupation for which the 

training is being provided. In determining the appropriate length of 

the contract, consideration should be given to the skill requirements 

of the occupation, the academic and occupational skill level of the 

participant, prior work experience, and the participant's individual 

employment plan. (WIA section 101(31)(C).)
