# §685.350. What training services may grantees provide to eligible migrant and seasonal farmworkers?

- (a) Grantees may provide the training activities described in WIOA secs. [167(d)](/cfr/20/167.md?p=d) and [134(c)(3)(D)](/cfr/20/134.md?p=c-3-D), and [part 680](/cfr/20/part680.md) of this chapter to eligible MSFWs. These activities include, but are not limited to, occupational-skills training and on-the-job training (OJT). Eligible MSFWs are not required to receive career services prior to receiving training services.
  - (1) When providing OJT services NFJP grantees may reimburse employers for the extraordinary costs of training by up to 50 percent of the wage rate of the participant for OJT.
  - (2) Grantees also may increase the OJT reimbursement rate up to 75 percent of the wage rate of a participant under certain conditions, provided that such reimbursement is being provided consistent with the reimbursement rates used under WIOA [sec. 134(c)(3)(H)(i)](/cfr/20/134.md?p=c-3-H-i) for the local area(s) in which the grantee operates its program.
- (b) Training services must be directly linked to an in-demand industry sector or occupation in the service area, or in another area to which an eligible MSFW receiving such services is willing to relocate.
- (c) Training activities must encourage the attainment of recognized postsecondary credentials as defined in [§ 685.110](/cfr/20/685.110.md) when appropriate for an eligible MSFW.
