Solution
- On-the-job Training: In this method, the trainee is placed on a regular job and taught the skills required to perform the job. A superior or trainer guides and supervises the trainee. The trainee learns by observing and handling the job. It is learning by doing.
- Apprenticeship Training: In this method, the trainees learn by working with those who are already skilled in their jobs. People who want to enter skilled trades (such as welders, plumbers, electricians, and machinists) are required to undergo apprenticeship training.
- Job Rotation: This method involves the movement or transfer of the trainee from one job to another, basically of a similar nature, either in the same department or different departments. The trainee gets job knowledge and gains experience in different assignments.
- Off-the-job Training: Under off-the-job training, the trainee is separated from the job situation and learns the skills related to the job. The advantage of this method is that the trainee can fully concentrate on learning because workplace noise does not disturb or distract his attention.
- Vestibule Training: In this method, a training centre called a vestibule is set up. The equipment and working conditions of the actual job place are reproduced or duplicated in the vestibule. Expert trainers are employed to provide training.
