WAC 388-891A-0815. What is on-the-job training?

On-the-job training is training an employer provides to you once you are placed in a job to help you learn the skills you need. With on-the-job training, you are hired by an employer and DVR pays the employer a training fee to cover the extra costs associated with training you. There is an expectation that employment with the employer will continue when the on-the-job training is completed. The employer must sign an agreement to include at a minimum: (1) Training to be provided, including skills to be learned and training methods; (2) Duration or number of hours of training to be provided; (3) How and when the employer will evaluate and report your progress to DVR; (4) An agreed-upon fee based on the employer's costs to provide the training; and (5) Payment criteria.
