Workplace Training - On the Job Training

Workplace Training Fund in Alberta

The intent of Workplace Training (WT) is to provide individual-focused training or work experience to enable individuals to find and maintain employment. Workplace Training is an individual-centred program and decisions are made which best support the needs of the individual. The intent is also to provide incremental training and work experience that would not otherwise occur. Participating employers agree to train or provide work experience for a predetermined period of time, with the expectation of the individual being able to engage and maintain employment in most cases with the same employer. Employers are selected based on their ability to provide On-the-Job training or to facilitate the Paid Work Experience component and their ability to provide ongoing employment after the Workplace Training contract is over.
