people around him or her. A supervisor who demonstrates his or her knowledge,
and the confidence to use that knowledge, will usually inspire others to attempt to
gain and use the same knowledge. Even though we are only trainees, they dont
treat us like others. And as a trainee we dont feel uncomfortable as we worked
with them. They also encourage us to go on with our studies until we
become professional.
D. Benefits gained
OJT or on-the-job training - this type of training can help students to
become more familiar with the realities of working; in some cases, on-the-job
training may lead to a stable and fulfilling career. Students learn discipline,
organization, and people skills while they train out in the workforce. Since on-thejob training is supervised by real employees in real-life work situations, anything
can happen, and students must learn "on their feet". Sometimes, this sink or swim
method of learning can be quite beneficial. Students will adjust to working, and
they will gain invaluable experience that they can take with them as they move
forward with future careers and education.
E. Problems encountered
The only problem you should have during ON THE JOB training is lack
of self-esteem. You are being trained you are not expected to know everything in
one day. Experience is gained through time. The longer you do something the
more you learn. The faster you gain knowledge & become a productive employee.
