On-the-Job Training (OJT) helps train an injured worker now for mutual benefits in the future. It is a risk-free, cost-saving program offered by the WCB.

Highlights

• Provide an injured worker with new skills, as outlined in their vocational rehabilitation plan.

• Get additional help at no cost and no obligation.

• Pay no wages and benefits to the injured worker during the agreed upon training period.

• Obtain no-cost technological support or adaptive devices for your injured worker's training period, depending on the injured worker's needs and the requirements of the job.

• Retain an injured worker who is familiar with your business, your operations and your customers at the end of the OJT period, if you wish.

• Attain an easy, risk-free investment in your company's future.
