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

Practice Coaching Activity<br />

Changing a tire is a skill. You can use <strong>the</strong> same system <strong>to</strong> teach any skill.<br />

As a class, select three simple <strong>job</strong>s or parts of a <strong>job</strong> <strong>to</strong> be taught. In teams of three, have each person<br />

select a different one of <strong>the</strong> three <strong>job</strong>s.<br />

1. Each person should create a teaching outline for a couple of steps of <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>job</strong>. (Use form below)<br />

2. In your team, take turns being coach, trainee, and observer. Remember <strong>to</strong> use adult learning<br />

principles and <strong>the</strong> responsibilities of a coach covered earlier in this training.<br />

a. Always begin with a pre-assessment. Use <strong>the</strong> OJT trainee pre-assessment form.<br />

b. During <strong>the</strong> practice coaching, <strong>the</strong> observer should use <strong>the</strong> OJT observer form.<br />

c. After <strong>the</strong> practice coaching, <strong>the</strong> coach should complete <strong>the</strong> OJT trainee progress review.<br />

d. After <strong>the</strong> practice coaching, <strong>the</strong> trainee should complete <strong>the</strong> OJT trainee feedback form.<br />

Discuss your coaching practice sessions when <strong>the</strong> trainer brings your class back <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
