For group (3), the Secretary must especially consider categories with applicable high unemployment rates. (b) (1) Under regulations, the Secretary may pay an employer for on-the-job training when necessary to obtain needed training or begin employment.

(2) If such training meets section 3687’s training-assistance-allowance criteria, the veteran* must receive that allowance to the extent remaining eligibility and entitlement exist. (3) The Secretary must write the regulations after consulting Labor’s Secretary and must consider title V of the Rehabilitation Act and section 4212 and their regulations.

Such payments may not exceed the direct expenses incurred by such employers in providing such on-job training or employment opportunity.
In any case in which a veteran* described in paragraph (1) of this subsection participates in on-job training described in such paragraph that satisfies the criteria for payment of a training assistance allowance under section 3687 of this title, such veteran shall, to the extent that such veteran has remaining eligibility for and entitlement to such allowance, be paid such allowance.
