ON-THE-JOB (OJT)

‘On The Job Training’ (OJT) is one of the primary means for acquiring skills in companies where a skilled worker or supervisor would trained another unskilled or new worker(s) who works alongside the skilled worker or supervisor. Working skills acquired through this mean is the precursor for trainees to continue in skills upgrading to attain higher accredited skills competency. PSMB has introduced OJT Scheme to facilitate employer to train their workers and minimize the disruption involved in sending a worker to external training.

Employers are required to plan and structure the training. A structured programme outline should be prepared with the OJT details on title, objective / learning outcome, target group, duration, task/content/skills and knowledge to be covered and instructional/delivery method.

The in-house OJT should be delivered by the company’s own employee who is a skilled worker or supervisor to the trainee. The OJT can be conducted in a series of sessions, which should be at least 1 hour in duration per session.

At the end of the OJT, the trainee should achieve satisfactory level of skills competency to perform the job, which the OJT covered. The trainer should conduct an assessment on the trainee to verify the achievement of this competency.
