On the Job Training
For employers who qualify, financial assistance may be available to offset the cost of on-boarding and training a new hire. This financial assistance is known as an On-the-Job Training (OJT) where 50% of salary costs are reimbursed for up to 6 months or $10,000.  Email Jessica Peterson for additional information.

Incumbent Worker Training 
Offers Bucks County employers the opportunity for reimbursement for providing third-party training to qualified employees.  This training program is available to upskill their existing workforce using a third-party training provider.  Depending upon company size, reimbursements can range from a minimum of 50% to a maximum of 90%.  Training is available for up to 20 employees per year and reimbursements are capped at $4,000 per person.  Employees receiving training must be employed a minimum of six months and must receive a wage increase, or a one-time bonus (dollar amount at the employer's discretion), within 60 days of completing the training. Once the application is submitted for reimbursement payments are made within 30 days.  All Incumbent Working Training (IWT) contracts must be signed prior to the start of training.
