Employer Services
The Cayuga County Employment and Training Department can tailor class size training programs to teach vocational and occupational skills that your company, or groups of companies, requires of new employees. The employer is involved in all decisions relating to site selection, curriculum, and instructional content as well as selecting the appropriate training materials that will meet your performance standards.
Your company will select from a pool of available candidates who have been screened to meet your specifications. We will provide continuous progress reports for each individual and provide the necessary counseling when required.
To obtain additional information on customized skills training that can assist your company, call 315-253-1590.
The On-The-Job (OJT) Program operates on the premise that employers make the best trainers. The OJT Program helps the employer defray some costs associated with the hiring and training of new workers, while providing the trainee with the most practical learning experience.
Employer Benefits
OJT offers a wage subsidy to defray the cost of training for a designated period of time while an employer trains a worker. The employer can be sure that workers are trained on company equipment, to company standards. This results in better:
- Efficiency
- Performance, loyalty, and satisfaction
- Quality products
- Safety records
- Job Retention
Employer Reimbursement
The employer will be reimbursed 50% of the participant’s wages while in training.
Training Selection
The employer decides who will be hired, retains all employer rights, and has the benefit of trainee counseling assistance provided by the Employment and Training staff.
Length of Training
The length of training time allowed will depend on the skill level of the job, the needs of the employer, and the needs of the trainee. An Employment and Training Specialist will help the employer outline a training plan based on the company’s written job description.
Eligibility
Any company may apply for the OJT Program if it can provide the following:
- A pay rate meeting federal, state or union standards, as applicable
- Training in a position of sufficient complexity to require a training period for eligible trainees
- Working hours equal to the standard work week of the company
