The ISKUR On-the-Job Training Program is designed to decrease unemployment rates, enhance the professional knowledge of registered unemployed candidates on ISKUR, and allow them to learn and develop their skills by experiencing work and production processes.
The program also provides employers with an opportunity to evaluate the candidates’ performance for a certain period and hire qualified employees. It can also save employers the cost of searching for new employees.
What are the Benefits of the On-the-Job Training Program? The ISKUR On-the-Job Training Program can help employers save on the cost of a minimum wage by hiring qualified candidates after they complete the necessary requirements. Employers can observe the candidates’ performance while they work in the field and train them according to the company’s culture and needs. If the program is completed successfully, employers can also benefit from SSI incentives for new employees.
