OJT National Emergency Grant
At-A-Glance Summary of Policy Requirements and Program Design
Ohio's OJT National Emergency Grant aims to place prolonged unemployed Dislocated Workers in permanent jobs by reimbursing eligible employers for the costs of training the individuals they commit to hire based on a percent of the trainee's wages.
All workforce areas may submit requests for OJT funding on a first-come, first-served basis to cover the cost of OJT contracts with local employers as authorized in the area's OJT policy and subject to the additional requirements summarized in the attached REVISED document.
