On the Job Training
The History
It’s the oldest form of training. Prior to the advent of off-site training classrooms, the only practical way of learning a job was working along side an experienced worker in a particular trade or profession.
As evinced by the practice of apprenticeship during the middle ages when master craftsmen passed on skills and knowledge to novices who worked alongside them.
The Objective
It focuses on the acquisition of skills
within the work environment generally
under normal working conditions.
Workers can acquire both general skills
that they can transfer from one job to
another and the skills particular to
another job.
It typically includes verbal and written instructions, demonstration and observation, hands-on experience and imitation. The process involves one employee (supervisor, or experienced) passing knowledge to a novice.
PARTNERSHIP
Our company has a business partnership with a number of companies in Johannesburg on the different sectors we train in. The focus is to help our learners to get the job experience they need as part of the On The Job Training.
The programme only prepares the learners with the necessary skills to compete for job opportunities, and does not guarantee placements.
