Cape May County residents can get paid on-the-job-training

CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE – The Cape May County Division of Workforce Development On-the-Job (OJT) training program provides county residents the opportunity to be paid while learning a new trade or skill that leads to full-time employment.

Eligible residents must be: 18 years of age or older, unemployed, laid-off, or under employed.

The OJT program matches your goals and interests with a business or company that will hire you full time during the training period with the goal that if successful the employer will hire you as a full-time employee. The training period is determined by the scope of training and knowledge required to successfully perform the job requirements.
