A training program may consist of a single course or a set of courses designed to meet a specific occupational goal. The following 4 types of training are preferred:

• On-the-Job Training
  
  
• Any program of Remedial Education- provided the worker already possesses vocational skills and needs only remedial education to obtain employment. Ordinarily, remedial education is part of a broader training program.
  
  
• Any training program, such as occupational or vocational training, which is paid in any part by any other federal or state program funds but NOT any personal funds or those of friends or relatives.
  
  
• Any training program approved by a local workforce investment board.

Employers are encouraged to consider on-the-job training which can include related institutional training so that additional skills can be learned that may not be available at a particular training institution.

In choosing institutional training, priority must be given to public vocational schools in the commuting area. If these schools provide effective and efficient training, they should receive preference over other alternatives. Placement and wage replacement rates should be primary considerations.
