What is Off the Job Training?

Answer Posted / ganu

Lectures/Conferences:- This approach is well adapted to
convey specific information, rules, procedures or methods.
This method is useful, where the information is to be shared
among a large number of trainees. The cost per trainee is
low in this method.

Films: - can provide information & explicitly demonstrate
skills that are not easily presented by other techniques.
Motion pictures are often used in conjunction with
Conference, discussions to clarify & amplify those points
that the film emphasized.

Simulation Exercise: - Any training activity that explicitly
places the trainee in an artificial environment that closely
mirrors actual working conditions can be considered a
Simulation. Simulation activities include case experiences,
experiential exercises, vestibule training, management games
& role-play.

Cases: - present an in depth description of a particular
problem an employee might encounter on the job. The employee
attempts to find and analyze the problem, evaluate
alternative courses of action & decide what course of action
would be most satisfactory.

Experiential Exercises: - are usually short, structured
learning experiences where individuals learn by doing. For
instance, rather than talking about inter-personal conflicts
& how to deal with them, an experiential exercise could be
used to create a conflict situation where employees have to
experience a conflict personally & work out its solutions.

Vestibule Training: - Employees learn their jobs on the
equipment they will be using, but the training is conducted
away from the actual work floor. While expensive, Vestibule
training allows employees to get a full feel for doing task
without real world pressures. Additionally, it minimizes the
problem of transferring learning to the job.

Role Play: - Its just like acting out a given role as in a
stage play. In this method of training, the trainees are
required to enact defined roles on the basis of oral or
written description of a particular situation.

Management Games: - The game is devised on a model of a
business situation. The trainees are divided into groups who
represent the management of competing companies. They make
decisions just like these are made in real-life situations.
Decisions made by the groups are evaluated & the likely
implications of the decisions are fed back to the groups.
The game goes on in several rounds to take the time
dimension into account.

In-Basket Exercise: - Also known as In-tray method of
training. The trainee is presented with a pack of papers &
files in a tray containing administrative problems & is
asked to take decisions on these problems & are asked to
take decisions on these within a stipulated time. The
decisions taken by the trainees are compared with one
another. The trainees are provided feedback on their
performance.
