▫ Employer must document skill attainment (and you have a process that makes reimbursements based on documented skill attainment during the OJT).

▫ Be sure each client has a personalized skill gap analysis for the position they are entering in their file.

▫ Training plans include: Description of the method of training and how it will

be delivered. Estimated number of hours for each skill. Job description. Start and completion dates. Clearly state the supervision that will be provided and

who is responsible.
