How to Perform On-the-job Training - Dean Amory
According to The Encyclopedia of Business, ©2000 Gale Cengage, On-the-job training is by far the predominant form of job training. Studies also indicate that it is the most effective form of job training. Yet, it also represents a significant investment considering that roughly 30% of a new worker's time is spent in on-the-job training during the first 90 days of employment, that productivity of experienced workers assigned to train new workers may decrease during the training period, and that new workers may make expensive mistakes. Both companies and workers therefore profit largely from the presence of simple, but complete trainee and trainer guides that allow for executing OJT in a structured way. “How to perform on-the-job training”, has the information, techniques and tips that will allow you to implement a professional OJT training program. The book also includes all the tools, documents and checklists necessary for setting up a qualitative and efficient skills training program for OJT coaches

Here are several quotes that can enhance your understanding of Action Learning.<br />
“…. learning … consists mainly in <strong>the</strong>ir new perceptions of what <strong>the</strong>y are doing and in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
changed interpretations of <strong>the</strong>ir past experiences.”<br />
– Reginald Revans, original developer of Action Learning“<br />
Action Learning is a process underpinned by a belief in individual potential: a way of learning from<br />
our actions, and from what happens <strong>to</strong> us, and around us, by taking <strong>the</strong> time <strong>to</strong> question, understand<br />
and reflect, <strong>to</strong> gain insights, and consider how <strong>to</strong> act in <strong>the</strong> future.”<br />
– Krystyna Weinstein, in “Action Learning: A Practical Guide”<br />
Mike Pedler and Christine Abbott wrote “… <strong>the</strong> acid test is whe<strong>the</strong>r people concerned are helping<br />
each o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>to</strong> take action on <strong>the</strong>ir problems and challenges, and whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y are learning from this<br />
work” (Facilitating Action Learning, McGraw Hill, 2013, p. 20).<br />
