Job Seeker Services OET programs help job seekers identify and obtain the skills needed to succeed in today’s competitive economy. Consider your work and life experiences in new ways and relate your skills, interests, and needs to training options which will help you obtain the skills demanded by employers. Our services include:
Career Assessment
- Testing designed to provide a profile of a job seeker's vocational interests, goals,
aptitudes, skills and academic levels, with specific recommendations on employment and
training services that may be suitable. Classroom
Training - Classroom instruction offered at no charge to eligible OET
clients to upgrade their skills or learn a new skill to achieve their career goals.
Training is provided in occupations with a high potential for placement and retention into
unsubsidized employment. Classroom training programs are subject to change based on
the local economy, local labor market conditions and the availability of Federal funding. On-the-Job
Training (OJT) - Eligible participants learn an occupational skill while
earning a paycheck. The length of training is determined by the job’s complexity and
training needs of the individual. Trainees receive full pay while the employers are
reimbursed for up to 50% of the trainee’s wages during the OJT period, with the
expectation the trainee will become a regular employee of the company upon successful
completion of the training. Customized
Training - Training is
designed by the employer and OET can fund 50% of the costs. The employer is actively
involved in curriculum review and design, competencies to be attained and participant
selection criteria. Specific job skills training may
be hands-on at the employer's site or may be more concept-based classroom training, or a
combination of both. Either may make use of appropriate educational
institutions. Customized training requires a commitment by the employer to
hire/retain all those who successfully complete the program.
