Customized Training
Customized Training provide unique opportunities for participants who already possess some job-related skills and the knowledge to "learn as they earn". By participating in training as an employee, the participant not only acquires new skills and knowledge, but also receives the same wages and benefits as current employees in same or similar positions. The employer benefits by being reimbursed for part of the participant’s wages during the training period, while having the services of a full-time employee.
Customized Training is training --
- That is designed to meet the special requirements of an employer (including a group of employers);
- That is conducted with a commitment by the employer to employ an individual on successful completion of the training; and
- For which the employer pays for not less than 50 percent of the cost of the training.
Customized Training can be offered to incumbent workers who are not earning a self-sufficient wage. The employer must retain the workers upon successful completion of the training.
