ON THE JOB TRAINING
Delaware County's OJT program opens new opportunities for job seekers and provides incentives to local employers to train and retain employees for skilled positions. Jobs available depend on current employer needs and are therefore subject to change at any given time, but there are generally opportunities in energy, healthcare and advanced manufacturing industries.
