On-the-job and incumbent worker training
Employers who are looking to hire new employees can access through SESP a qualified pool of workers who have recently obtained or are enrolled in a certificate program in their field.
To offset the cost of training, eligible employers may receive reimbursement for 50%-90% of their new employees' wages during the on-the-job training period.
In addition, employers can improve their competitive edge by building their current employees' skill sets. The SESP program offers qualified employers the ability to train their own workers at little to no cost to the employer.
