Leverage wage subsidies
Let us connect you to eligible wage subsidies to help you with your training costs:
- SkillCraft facilitates the first 150 hours of subsidized wages for a job-ready candidate at no cost to the employer, saving you up to $3,000 for every hired candidate. This provides a great trial run experience with candidates before permanent employment is considered or offered.
- If employment is offered after the SkillCraft-funded 150 hours and the candidate is deemed eligible for funds from the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), On-the-Job Training (OJT) funds will reimburse employers up to 50 percent of an employee’s hourly wage for a maximum of 1,040 hours. Candidate eligibility is reviewed by internal San Diego Workforce Partnership teams.
