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

eing very demanding is a good training practice. They may have good intentions but end up<br />
intimidating trainees. Recognizing that an coach is intimidating trainees is often difficult.<br />
Evaluation (reaction) forms should be provided <strong>to</strong> trainees in an OJT program.<br />
The OJT program coordina<strong>to</strong>r or a line/training supervisor should review <strong>the</strong>se forms and conduct<br />
periodic evaluations of OJT coaches. They should be able <strong>to</strong> determine if intimidation is taking<br />
place, and if necessary, counsel <strong>the</strong> coach in ways <strong>to</strong> eliminate it.<br />
Effective Assessment<br />
Assessment is key <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> learning process and should be built in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> program.<br />
Simply put, assessment seeks <strong>to</strong> answer <strong>the</strong> questions of "<strong>How</strong> will you know if your trainees have<br />
learned <strong>the</strong> task?" "<strong>How</strong> will you know if <strong>the</strong> learning goal has been reached?"<br />
The effective assessment wheel will aid this process.<br />
The wheel has five components that reflect assessment questions.<br />
1. Do <strong>the</strong> trainee’s questions show <strong>the</strong>y are engaged in learning?<br />
2. Is <strong>the</strong> trainee able <strong>to</strong> answer your questions?<br />
3. Is <strong>the</strong> trainee able <strong>to</strong> describe how <strong>to</strong> perform <strong>the</strong> tasks?<br />
4. Can <strong>the</strong> trainee demonstrate <strong>the</strong> <strong>job</strong> tasks?<br />
5. Can <strong>the</strong> trainee perform <strong>the</strong> <strong>job</strong> independently?<br />
