Preparing and On-the-Job Training Plan
Training plans are a key element of a successful OJT engagement. The training plan maps out the steps your business will take to help the new hire achieve proficiency in their new role. The PON 3982 OJT Program requires well developed training plans to approve new hire applications and award funding. Your New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) Business Service Representative can assist in the development of this training plan and must sign off on it before submission to NYSERDA.

Training Plans must include:
- Job Duties – List the primary activities and tasks the new hire will perform in their position during the On-the-Job Training Period.
- Frequency – How often the employee will be completing each job duty (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly, occasionally)
- Training Method – Describe how your new hire will gain proficiency in each listed job duty. Include details on the specific training that will be provided.
- OJT Hours – List the number of hours per job duty and corresponding training your new hire will spend learning each task. This must be a thoughtful breakdown of hours. The total number of OJT hours shown must equal eligible hours for the program: 960 hours for a members of priority populations and disadvantaged communities (as defined by PON 3982) and 480 hours for individuals who are not members of priority populations or disadvantaged communities.
