What is On the Job Training (OJT)?

On-the-Job Training (OJT) is a method of training where employees learn and acquire skills directly in the workplace, while performing their actual job tasks. It involves a hands-on approach to learning, allowing employees to observe and practice job-related activities under the guidance of more experienced colleagues or trainers. OJT provides practical experience and helps employees develop job-specific skills, knowledge, and competencies in a real-world setting. It is commonly used for tasks that require specific job-related skills or knowledge that cannot be easily taught through other training methods.
