Reduce Tax and Business Costs:

Get a Tax Credit:

You could qualify for tax credits for hiring people from targeted groups including public assistance recipients and disadvantaged youth with the Work Opportunity Tax Credit and Welfare to Work Tax Credit programs.

Downsizing Option: Save human resource costs when your company experiences a downturn in business. If your company qualifies, employees can work reduced hours and collect partial Unemployment Insurance benefits to make up lost wages with the Shared Work Program.

On-The-Job Training: Individualized on-the-job training (OJT) contracts can be written. Our goal is to match your job openings with possible candidates and reimburse you while providing training. Reimbursement depends on the specific job and the qualifications of the employee. Individuals hired through the OJT program are subject to the same expectations as all employees in your company. Full-time, long-term employment is the goal of the OJT services. On-the-job training is a great way to save on your employee training investment. Click here for more information on OJT services.
