Columbia Gorge Community College has partnered with WorkSource Oregon for an on-the-job training program to help businesses offset the cost of hiring and training new employees.  Teresa Cummings of CGCC says the federally funded program is fairly simple, and it’s easy for the employer to qualify.  Employers simply have contact WorkSource, then the agency handles the paperwork and set out the training plan.  One key component is the on-the-job training contract must be established prior to the first day of work.  For information on the program, contact WorkSource in The Dalles at 541-296-5435 or in Hood River at 541-386-6300.
