There are several methods of providing on-the-job training. Four frequently used methods are briefly described here:/
1.Coaching Methods: – an experienced member of staff will help trainees learn skills and processes through providing instructions or demonstrations (or both)./
2.Mentoring Methods: – each trainee is allocated to an established member of staff who acts as a guide and helper. A mentor usually offers more personal support than a coach, although the terms ‘mentor’ and ‘coach’ are often used interchangeably./
3.Job rotation: – this is where members of staff rotate roles or tasks so that they gain experience of a full range of jobs./
4.‘Sitting next to Nellie’: – this describes the process of working alongside a colleague to observe and learn the skills needed for a particular process. This can be a faster and more useful way of learning a job role than studying a written manual. The colleague is always on hand to answer any questions or deal with any unexpected problems.
