PROGRAM<br />
FUNDING<br />
By Shirley Raun<br />
Funding through the American Recovery and<br />
Reinvestment Act is available to employers to<br />
help <strong>of</strong>fset the costs <strong>of</strong> providing on-the-job<br />
training (OJT) to qualified job seekers who<br />
are eligible for Department <strong>of</strong> Rehabilitation<br />
services. The Department assists people<br />
who have disabilities to become employed.<br />
These qualified individuals are seeking<br />
job opportunities that reflect the entire<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional and occupational spectrum <strong>of</strong> our<br />
communities.<br />
The amount <strong>of</strong> the training reimbursement<br />
and the length <strong>of</strong> training are individualized,<br />
depending on the complexity <strong>of</strong> the work and<br />
how much the individual needs to learn on<br />
the job. The Department client is hired as an<br />
employee <strong>of</strong> the business during the OJT. It<br />
is expected that if the individual does well, s/<br />
he will be retained as a regular employee upon<br />
completion <strong>of</strong> the OJT.<br />
