Abstract
Imagine one day doing on-the-job-training (OJT) and pressing a button to instantaneously download directly to your brain all the material you needed to do your job proficiently. On-the-job-training is a great way for an individual to gain hands-on experience, job-specific and resume-building material, all while earning wages and either qualifying for a permanent position within the organization where the OJT takes place, or becoming prepared to seek another employment opportunity in that field after gaining this experience and skills. OJT’s may take less time and offer training that better matches the consumer’s learning style, when compared with other methods of training. As the world becomes more complex and new highly technical jobs are created…it had become increasingly difficult to train individuals to a proficient level in a timely manner. This has forced many companies to think out of the box and creatively come up with new techniques. Companies have been able to overcome these obstacles with the introduction of new hardware and creative techniques. Through the creation of web-cams, smart phones, portable computers and implementing new technics like video conferencing many companies are able to survive in the 21st Century. With the introduction of new hardware and technics, OJT has taken on a slightly new perspective. Not only are the individuals being trained in a more sophisticated field, they are getting a new job skill to become more marketable.
