Wage Subsidy and Work-Based Learning for Employers
Our JobsNOW! Program offers subsidized, work-based learning opportunities that help employers train and hire motivated job seekers on-site, while reducing onboarding costs.
We partner with private businesses and nonprofits to:
- Host a paid trainee for up to six months.
- Train on the job while we reimburse wages.
