Project Hiring is a grant-funded On-the-Job Training (OJT) wage reimbursement program that provides training for new eligible workers. We hire, train, and retain new employees, and Montgomery County will reimburse up to 50 percent of wages (maximum total of $5,000) during the training period of up to six months.

Our goal is to support you in training workers for in-demand occupations. On-the-Job Training prepares your employee for long-term success in your business.

Your employees will learn your specific processes, work tasks, tools and methods of a specific job or group of jobs while actually working.
