CHAPTER 1- INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
INTRODUCTION
On-the-Job-Training or OJT is job training that occurs in the work place. It has many advantages, but it can also have a few disadvantages if the OJT is not planned and executed properly. It is part of a college curriculum that aims to train and orient students about the work and their future career. It is very important not only to teach students their chosen career but to show students the reality about working.
On-the-job training, also known as OJT, is teaching the skills, knowledge, and competencies that are needed to perform a specific job within the workplace and work environment. On-the-job training uses the regular or existing workplace tools, machines, documents, equipment, knowledge and skills necessary for a student to learn to effectively perform his or her job in the future.
It occurs within the normal working environment an employee will experience on the job. It may occur as the student performs actual work or it may occur elsewhere within the workplace using training rooms, training work stations, or training equipment.
While the goal of OJT is often to teach basic workplace skills, it also instills aspects of the workplace culture and performance expectations. OJT is also the approach organizations use to provide student trainees on-boarding information.
It means that skills can be gained while trainees are carrying out their jobs. This benefits both student trainees and the business. Student Trainees learn in the real work environment and gain experience dealing with the tasks and challenges that they will meet during a normal working day. The business benefits by ensuring that the training is specific to the job. It also does not have to meet the additional costs of providing off-the-job training or losing working time.
There are several methods of providing on-the-job training. Four frequently used methods are briefly described here:
