Stanislaus County Workforce Development

Hiring new employees can be an investment—but training doesn’t have to fall entirely on your business.

Through our On-the-Job Training (OJT) Program, eligible employers can receive wage reimbursement while new hires develop the skills needed to succeed.

OJT can help provide:
• Wage reimbursement for eligible trainees
• Customized, hands-on training
• Stronger employee retention
• A workforce prepared for long-term success

Great bosses do more than just manage. They lead with purpose, inspire their teams, and uplift everyone around them. Often, they make sacrifices behind the scenes to ensure their teams succeed.
