For the employee, on-the-job training is directly relevant to their work, they get to know the people in their area and feel part of the team faster. On-the-job training also has several advantages for the company:
• It is cheaper than off-the-job training.
• Managers see progress and can help when problems arise to resolve them quickly.
• The employee is still working during training so is more productive.
• The employee puts learning into practice.
