32 Miss. Code. R. § 22-3.11.3 - On-The-Job Training

On-the-job training (OJT) can provide an excellent opportunity for VR clients to display their capabilities to a prospective employer. The training program should be designed to meet both the client's as well as the employers needs. The employer should provide reasonable assurance that the client will be employed at the successful termination of the OJT program.

When completing an OJT Program for a client, an On-the-Job Training Agreement Form (MDRS-VR-26) must be completed, a copy of the completed form placed in the client's file and a copy given to the employer before beginning the training.

An adequate supply of the Training Progress Report Form (MDRS-VR-28) for the OJT period covered by an authorization for services should be sent to the employer. A letter should be included requesting that the MDRS-VR-28 be completed monthly (or at more frequent intervals, if desired) and forwarded to the VR office for case file documentation.

Suitable records of attendance, performance, and progress of the client should be maintained by the employer and made available to the VR counselor when requested. Verbal reports should be documented in a case note and placed in the client's case file.
