1INTRODUCTION

On-the-Job Training is part of a college curriculum that aims to train and orient students about the work and their future career. It is a type of skill development where a worker learns how to do the work through hands-on experience. On the Job Training is one method by which students are exposed to different work situation designed to give students an opportunity to experience and a chance to apply the theories and computation that they have learned from the school. It also helps the students to acquire relevant knowledge and skills by performing in an actual work setting (Capa, 2013)OJT is very important not only to teach students regarding their chosen career, but also to show students the reality about working. The students will be exposed to the actual work related to the course that they are taking. It also allows those with no experience to work and to learn at the same time. It helps the trainee to learn more about his choose a field and practice what he has learned from the school. It helps in the building up of the trainees competence. Of course, when a student is competent enough, he will be able to do things successfully and this training develops ones professionalism in dealing with people. After the training, the trainee will be able to handle situations properly and hell be able to know how to socialize well with his colleagues. He will also be able to work well with everyone and hell have a good teamwork. OJT also enhances the critical thinking abilities and discipline of the student conducting his training in a company. His ability to make sound decisions and evaluate pertinent factors will be improved (Ibid). Having a proper On-the-Job-Training helps in the preparation of future professionals in their future jobs. What the students learned in their OJT, even the little things, can be applied when they are already working. Students will be trained not only academically, but socially as well. The way they work and communicate with others will not be a problem for them anymore. It also gives the trainee the chance to immerse himself in his chosen field and experience and learn the skills necessary to the industry he is interested in. Working with experienced staff, one will be able to observe how the job is done properly. Aside from work experience, OJT allows the trainee to get acquainted with the real professionals, and to meet people having different positions in the company, either high or low. The trainee will be able to know how to adjust to other peoples personalities and attitudes. OJT requires effort and seriousness. A trainee should take the OJT seriously as it can be a powerful tool for a person in preparing for the next chapter of life as a professional. It can possibly be a source of recommendation when they take that big lift from being students to career professionals someday.

Significance of the On-the-Job TrainingOn-the-Job Training (OJT) focuses on the acquisition of skills within the work environment generally under normal working conditions. Through OJT, the trainee can acquire both general skills that he/she can transfer from one job to another and specific skills that are unique to a particular job. It typically includes verbal and written instruction, demonstration and observation, and hands-on practice, and imitation. In addition, the process involves one employee usually a supervisor or an experienced employee passing knowledge an skills on to a novice employee.On-the-Job training is the oldest form of training. Prior to the advent of off-site training classrooms, the only practical way of learning a job is working alongside an experienced worker in a particular trade or profession as evinced by the practiced of apprenticeship during the Middle Ages, when master craftsmen passed on skills and knowledge to novices who worked alongside them (Capa, A, 1987).
