On-The-Job Training

The On-The-Job Training (OJT) program provides an opportunity to learn new skills while working for a public or private employer. Individuals who do not possess a marketable skill will be trained by the employer through a contract agreement.

Employers who hire and train WIOA eligible individuals may be reimbursed up to one-half of the employee鈥檚 wage during the period of training. OJT participants are paid at the same rates, including benefits and periodic increases, as similar employees. Please see a WIOA Representative for more information.

Occupational Skills Training

Occupational Skills Training provides the technical skills and competencies required to perform a specific occupation. Individuals who do not possess a marketable skill may be trained in order to enter the workforce and earn a livable wage. WIOA training is for occupations that are in-demand and are directly linked to employment opportunities in the local area. A list of potential WIOA eligible training providers is available through the Eligible Training Provider System located on .

National Career Readiness Certificate

The National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) is a Missouri Job Center product/service that benefits job seekers and business customers. The NCRC is issued by ACT. It is composed of three WorkKeys Assessments. The NCRC is used for screening, hiring, and promotion, as well as for fulfilling training needs for existing employees. The NCRC increases our local economic competitiveness, connecting Missouri businesses with workers who have certified proficiency in basic workplace skills. When new customers enter a Missouri Job Center, the free CareerReady 101 Assessment provides the first step on the path to obtaining a National Career Readiness Certificate. Initial screening and NCRC testing is provided by Missouri Job Centers free of charge.
