On the Job Training (OJT)


On the Job Training program helps companies offset their hiring costs by reimbursing up to 50% of wages paid during onboard training.

Incumbent Worker Training (IWT)


Incumbent Worker Training (IWT) benefits both employees and employers by improving the workforce and keeping businesses competitive. This training helps current employees gain new skills so they can stay in their jobs or even move up in the company.

Other Resources


For companies planning to move, grow, or invest in new equipment or buildings, the Lucas County Department of Planning and Development can help with tax incentives, abatements, and other tools to make the process easier.

As an entrepreneur, I have looked into just about every organization or program in our community that claims to help entrepreneurs and start-up businesses and have found that for my start-up business and I, your program by far provides the most substantial assistance.
