On-the-Job Training (OJT)
On-the-Job Training (OJT)
The On-the-Job (OJT) Training Program is used to direct training opportunities to minority, female and economically disadvantaged individuals. The purpose of the training is to develop marketable skills for the individuals and allow them to gain journey worker status in highway construction crafts.
Each year certain projects are designated to have Trainee slots. The OJT Special Provision is added to the contract for those designated projects.
