What is On-the-Job Training Program?

İŞKUR (Employment Agency) on-the-job training program aims to reduce unemployment, to reinforce the professional knowledge of the unemployed candidates registered on İŞKUR, to learn and develop by experiencing the work and production processes. With the on-the-job training program, employers can have the opportunity to review the performances of the candidates for a certain period of time to employ qualified workforce, and they also have the opportunity to save on the cost of searching for new employees.

What are the Benefits of the On-the-Job Training Program?

With the İŞKUR (Employment Agency) on-the-job training program, employers can save as much as the cost of a minimum wage by including the candidates they want to hire after meeting the necessary conditions. Based on that, employers can have the opportunity to see the candidates while working in the field, and they will have the opportunity to train them according to their own corporate culture and needs. If the program ends positively, they will also be able to benefit from SSI incentives for the new employees.
