BENEFITS OF JOB READINESS – ON-THE-JOB TRAINING

What does Job Readiness feel like?

On-the-job training occurs when an employee is trained on their role while carrying out their responsibilities, or when they are upskilled while on the job. There are instances where it can be more economical for companies to train certain positions on the job and there are several types of on-the-job training examples that are beneficial for a certain skill.

Waste less company time and budget

If you look at the other methods, they take up a lot of resources and divert valuable manpower from other potential jobs. Take a second and think of all the money that your company spends setting up training spaces, buying training materials, and paying trainers.

Determine if a job is a good fit for you in the nearly future

Training employees takes effort, time, and resources. Wouldn’t you agree that it would be in everyone’s best interest if a compatibility issue is recognized early through the training so it can be discontinued before extra time, effort, and resources are spent? From a trainee standpoint, wouldn’t you also agree that it is best to realize that you aren’t suited for a job before you commit time and energy to train for a role that you will either end up leaving or remain miserable in? If a role and an employee don’t fit, nothing good usually comes out of it.

Hands-on learning

Hands-on learning means that your trainees will be learning particular skills and tactics while doing the job that they are preparing for. In most cases, companies like yours find it more effective to provide a hands-on training experience to their employees versus applying other learning techniques. On-the-job training has the benefit of providing knowledge and experience at the same time, and often this means that the learning curve is significantly reduced.

Learn how to handle unusual scenarios

Unfortunately, things don’t always go as planned and sometimes the situations that workers face are not listed in the employee handbook. When these sorts of things come up, it takes some common sense, industry knowledge, and good old experience to have them handled. A worker that is new to an industry, company, or department will not usually have the necessary experience to handle unnatural situations they aren’t trained for.

The list above that may able to help you towards the challenges that you will face your future endeavors. Keep in mind that everything you do matters to the business and people surrounds you.
