The New York State Department of Labor has issued a Request for Application (RFA) which is designed to provide incentives through OJT grants to businesses who hire long term unemployed workers and to provide these workers with a competitive advantage in the labor market.
Businesses (private sector, for-profits and not-for-profits) and/or intermediaries that represent a business membership (Chamber of Commerce or labor/trade organizations) are eligible to apply for funding under this program.
The maximum OJT award amount for a newly hired employee is $5,000 and there is no minimum award amount. OJT awards for multiple hires are allowed with a maximum amount of $50,000 per business. All awards are subject to funding availability.
The hiring business must be offering a full-time (35 hours/week or more) job opportunity paying a minimum of $10.00 per hour; willing to assure that the newly hired employee remain employed with the business upon completion of the OJT, that OJT will take place during the newly hired employee's work hours and employee will be compensated at no less than their normal rate of pay and that no currently employed worker shall be displaced by the newly hired OJT employee.
