Workforce Development
Facilitating Growth by Accelerating Hiring
OJT Associates is an extension of the workforce agency for On-the-Job-Training, Incumbent Worker Training, and other grant programs.
OJT Associates provides opportunity for job candidates and small and medium size employers interested in investing in employee training as a growth strategy. When these employers lack the expertise and resources to create effective workforce and career development plans, OJT Associates helps them.
Our primary objective is to facilitate growth by accelerating hiring.
We help employers expand the candidate pool. OJT Associates performs extensive screening for small and medium size employers who lack the time, energy, and resources to invest in the training required to develop their workforces and achieve growth.
Our process focuses on conducting detailed skills gap analysis for employment candidates as well as the employer's existing workforce.
The skills gap analysis expands the qualified candidate pool to include individuals who may not check every single box in the job description. The process focuses on both perfect fit and candidates who may lack specific skills and/or experience. The key to the process is filling positions while responsibly managing payroll.
Armed with the skills gap analysis, we recommend candidates for hire and promotion who might otherwise be overlooked.
Our process works for the employer because it accelerates hiring.
It works for individual job candidates because it provides opportunity and growth for candidates who may be overlooked.
It works for the workforce agency because OJT Associates introduces new employers to the workforce system helping them access services available to them.
