The following are basic guidelines for an approved OJT:
*The full list of approved on-the-job training programs is maintained by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and is available online through VA’s WEAMS institution search tool.
Visit Occupational Informational Network or ONET at https://www.onetonline.org/find/ to find tasks associated with the specific occupation.
A clear and concise training outline helps ensure the value of an OJT program and is required for approval. The training outline must consist of all skills required to perform job, processes and techniques used to train, and length of time spent on training each task.
Generally no. The SAA will not approve jobs that require brief periods of experience to obtain and perform the job satisfactorily. Occupations which have significant training requirements less than 6 months will be reviewed and considered on a case-by-case basis.
A program specialist will be assigned to review the contents of the application and will work with you until requirements are met. Once it is decided the OJT will be approved, a compliance specialist will visit your location and determine adequate space and equipment is available to trainees. The program specialist will also provide you with the appropriate training required for adequate record keeping and teach you how to navigate the appropriate forms and systems to certify your veteran employee.

The employer work week must be at least 30hrs per week for consideration of VA approval.
No. VA benefits are not authorized for periods after trainees receive journeyman wages. Receipt of journeyman wages are evidence that trainees have reached the journeyman level. The trainee may continue in the OJT program, but benefits will be eliminated at that time.
