Worker Training

Employers…  

The single biggest factor contributing to your bottom line is worker salaries. Add the costs associated with hiring a new employee (in the ballpark of $5,000), and you’ve got a major drain on your profits. 

Here’s our "On-the-Job Training" deal!

1. Either you or we find an applicant that doesn’t have all the necessary skills but is ready to work and is trainable.
2. We determine whether the applicant is “eligible” and, if so, develop a training plan with you.
3. We pay up to $1000 to cover your training costs.
4. At the end of the training period, you get a skilled employee, trained your way and $1000!
