Meeting on March 2 to discuss On-the-Job Training with the Department of Employment Services (DOES)

Adams Morgan businesses are invited to join us with DOES on Friday, March 2 at 12pm in the Festival Center at 1640 Columbia Rd., NW for a discussion about the benefits of On-the-Job Training (OJT).

OJT training is a workforce development strategy where employers of all sizes have an opportunity to train, mentor and hire candidates as they become fully proficient in a particular skillset or job function. Through the OJT model, candidates receive the hands-on training necessary to increase their skills, knowledge and capacity to perform the designated job functions. The OJT strategy ensures unemployed and underemployed jobseekers have a chance to enter and reenter the workforce through an “earn and learn” model. This streamlined approach developed between select employers and the Department of Employment Services (DOES) allows employers to be reimbursed at an established wage rate in exchange for the training provided to participating OJT candidates.

This year CNHED is forming a planning committee and we're seeking the input and support of the small business community to be a part of what we think is an excellent opportunity to celebrate local small businesses, and the network of organizations committed to serving this dynamic community.
