What is a TOJ and how is it different than a TaP?
The TOJ program is designed to help worker who are no longer able to go back to their regular job and employer.

This program is designed to help employers bring a new employee into a position.
The TaP program includes two key components—a training partner delivering current industry-specific training and an employer who is ready to provide training-on-the-job opportunities. Each training program is tailored to support employers who consistently seek workers with specific skills for their particular industry.
