OJT Trainee Intake. After prospective OJT Trainees have been identified, the Career Center must ensure that all individuals go through an intake process to ensure that all information pertinent to OJT/NEG Project requirements is collected and every prospective OJT Trainee receives relevant services. The intake process includes completion of an application or an intake registration form to capture all the necessary data elements to gauge eligibility and the direction of service provision. Career Centers will also ensure that registration in MOSES is completed for all prospective OJT Trainees. Documents pertinent to OJT/NEG Project eligibility determination, citizenship or alien registration, and employment authorization (if the individual is not a U.S. citizen) will be collected by the career center following standard procedures and policies. After these documents are collected, the career center will determine OJT Trainee eligibility for the OJT/NEG Project. In certain instances OJT initiated through “reverse referral” may be permitted under this Project. Reverse referral occurs when an individual is referred to the career center from a prospective employer (under either formal or informal agreement) for assessment as to whether or not the individual meets the requirements for OJT. Development of an OJT for an individual referred by the employer may be permitted only when: ✓ the individual progresses through the intake process as would any other career center customer and meets all requirements for eligibility as a dislocated worker, as specified in the OJT/NEG Policy (MassWorkforce Issuance 10-92); ✓ the completed case plan indicates training is necessary for the individual to perform the work associated with the position for which the employer has an opening to fill; ✓ the employer meets all of the eligibility requirements under the OJT/NEG Project and; ✓ the employer provides assurance that the individual has not previously been employed by the employer in the same or similar position.
