Drastically Reduce New Employee Training Costs. 

The cost of training a new employee can amount to many thousands of dollars due to lost productivity and supervisory time alone. On-the-job training (OJT) has been proven to be one of the most successful means of training new employees in the skills and performance levels required.

PA CareerLink^® Lehigh Valley’s On-the-Job Training (OJT) Program can help in defraying those expensive costs. For new, full-time, eligible employees, your company may be reimbursed up to 90% of their wages during an initial training period.

In addition, if you hire someone through OVR, you may be eligible for a Federal Tax Credit up to $2400, paid during the first year of employment.
