On-the-Job Training (OJT)

OJT is offered through the WIOA Program to enable businesses to reduce their costs for training new workers who meet WIOA eligibility. The business may be reimbursed up to 75% of the gross wages paid to each eligible worker during their first 4 weeks of employment (depending on qualifying circumstances). The worker must be pre-qualified by WIOA prior to the start of training and the proper OJT paperwork must be in place prior to the new hire beginning employment. For more information contact our business service office at 864-467-8080 or at employerinfo@greenvillecounty.org.

Work Experience (WE)

Work experience is a planned, structured learning experience that takes place in a workplace for a limited period of time. This temporary training program allows registered WIOA participants an opportunity to gain exposure to the world of work. The training opportunity may be paid or unpaid. For more information contact our business service office at 864-467-8080 or at employerinfo@greenvillecounty.org.

Incumbent Worker Training (IWT)

Incumbent Worker Training provides resources for businesses to train currently employed workers in an effort to keep businesses and workers competitive. IWT provides funding for training needed in current businesses due to expansion, new technology, retooling, new services/product lines and new organizational structuring or as part of a layoff aversion strategy. IWT may also fund training in new businesses if those jobs are ineligible for assistance through ReadySC™, formerly the Center for Accelerated Technology Training (CATT). However, there will be a waiting period of 120 days for new or expanding businesses that displaced workers elsewhere in the United States.

Our Business Services team typically accepts IWT applications when funding is available (usually once or twicer per year). When we are accepting applications, the documents and instructions will listed on our
News page. If you have any additional questions about IWT or would like to know when we expect to accept additional applications, please contact a member of our SC Works Business Services team at 864-467-8080.
