Question

Is induction training the same as on-the-job training? 

Answer 1

Induction training is different from on-the-job training in that:

1. On-the-job training refers to internal company training, while induction introduces new employees to the organization.
2. On-the-job training focuses on job skills, while induction training introduces new employees to the company's history, organizational structure, policies, procedures, and regulations.
3. On-the-job training involves a superior or trainer guiding the trainee and allowing them to observe and learn on the job. It provides first-hand job knowledge. During induction training, top managers present lectures to new workers about the company's history, activities, and policies.
