TRAINING PROGRAM

A. Importance of On-The-Job-Training

On the job Training are part of a college curriculum that aims to train and orient students

about the work and their future career. OJT is very important not only to teach students their

chosen career but to show students the reality about working. It is an avenue for applying,

enriching and enhancing the acquired knowledge in the school in their particular field of

endeavour .OJT will be your training ground. If you still have no idea on what is meant to be a

worker, OJT will give you at least 10% of career realities. You can consider your OJT

experience as your guide on your first days at work, especially if your OJT and current work are

related. You can use your experience and observation as an OJT to your future job.

As per requirement by the CHED, graduating students of different sources need to

undergo on-the-job-training with the required number of hours. Perhaps this would be a stepping

stone for the trainees to develop themselves to become professionals in their own fields od

specialization and acquire new learning through gained experiences during trainings. It is an

essential component of the learning process, geared towards preparing students for their future

career.

On the job training is a way of changing the student’s outlook in life through exposure in the

performance of actual work that may serve as a stepping-stone for future career. It develops

interpersonal relationship with other employees within the cooperating agency.)n-the –job-

training offers clear benefits. It is a way of putting concepts learned in school in practice.

Ultimately, education programs can achieve the best results by blending classroom teaching with

on-the-job training.“The classroom is a great starting point for learning,” said McLanahan, “but

the practical application of that learning is essential as the employee works toward mastering [a]

skill.”

To develop students competence as soon to be professionals, on-the-job-training has been

proven as a helpful tool. Quality workforce can contribute to the society as a whole as well, in a

sense that labor and manpower has been considered as the most important factor in the growth of

an economy.

The learning institutions can assess the effectiveness of their academic learning programs

through on-the-job-training. They can see how their lessons work in practice and then fine-tune

them. The process even lets instructors field-test the ideas and techniques they teach. Sometimes,

this testing leads not only to better teaching, but also to better processes

To the agency, on-the job-training increases their manpower without increasing their cost.

The host agency can also recruit employees from their trainees. This will be an advantage for the

agency because the trainee can be assessed based on its performance during its training, making

the agency hire quality employees.

Most students have taken their OJT for granted; not realizing the importance it can bring on

their future career. Having a good performance during OJT is very important especially now that

there’s a tight competition towards job seekers and the high qualification of companies. Thus,

students must put effort and take on-the-job-training like their first real job.
