On-the-Job Training
Train current employees rather than outsiders

On-the-job training focuses on helping employees improve their skills within the work environment.

Through on-the-job training , workers can acquire general skills that they can transfer from on job to another.

They also learn specific skills that are unique to a specific job.

In on-the-job training, an experienced employee passes knowledge and skills on to a novice employee.

Adam, I am swamped.

I feel like i'm spending my whole life at the office.

I need another production assistant to oversee some of the work.

You do. But hiring one won't be easy.

Why hire one? Dean Black could do the job.

Dean? We decided a while ago not to promote him.

True. But since you talked to him, he's made great strides.

He's great to work with now.

He'll need training, and that takes time.

We're too busy to send him out for training.

We need him here.

Why not just let him learn on the job?
