About On-the-Job Training (OJT)

NJDOL reimburses an employer 50% of a new hire’s wages, up to $10,000, for training that person on the job over 4 to 26 weeks. The hire must be a New Jersey resident who is unemployed, facing layoff, or on public assistance, and must be paid above minimum wage. Can be paired with a Federal Bonding Program bond for a hire coming off public assistance.
