On-the-Job Training (OJT) is probably the oldest and most frequently used type of training. If you think back to your first job, you were probably trained on-the-job. It can be quite informal and involves the trainee working alongside more experienced employees or trainers in the actual work environment. Small organizations may use O]T as their primary or only training method because they may not know that there are other methods available. It’s appropriate for many entry-level jobs, but there are other training tools that can be more effective. Employees who facilitate on-the-job training need to be trained themselves on the best way to model, teach, and reinforce the skills. Trainers also need to understand that they are representatives of the organizational culture as well as an expert in performing the task.
