Assessment of the OJT

New knowledge, attitudes, and skills acquired

They say that nothing beats experience, as my professor would say, as the
perfect learning tool. For some students, on-the-job training gives them a taste of
the real world – a glimpse of what lies ahead after they graduate. One of the most
important things I’ve learned is that talent alone is not enough. It is important, but
it is no guarantee of success. One must also be hardworking and should practice
self-discipline. Sacrifice is important, too.

The training inside the Bureau of Immigration is learning experience each day.
I was able to understand that everything that was thought inside the school can be
a tool that can be used in future career. As I was working as a trainee at the Bureau,
I learned to become a hard-working person. Time to complete the output product is
not important, but the quality. I also learned to follow the instructions as what the
superiors said and to accept opinion that they suggested. At the school, being late
is better than absent. But as what I learned, being absent is better than being late.
Being absent can be a cause of emergency situations like sickness, unpredicted
travels and phenomena, while, being late is a cause of misbehavior and unable to
manage the time. Lastly, I learned that on-the-job training is not just only a subject
to be passed or a requirement to be completed but on-the-job training is an
opportunity to show what skills, talents and techniques that the student learned from
the school and also an opportunity to experience the life outside the campus;
serving companies like a professional on the field of the students
‘specialization.

Feedback that can be given to the company or institution

One of the most important attributes that our supervisor taught us is self-
confidence. A person's confidence is based upon one's knowledge of the job, and
most importantly, one's own personal belief in his or her abilities. Confidence
begets confidence. A weak or unsure supervisor will not inspire confidence in the
people around him or her. A supervisor who demonstrates his or her knowledge,
and the confidence to use that knowledge, will usually inspire others to attempt to
gain and use the same knowledge. Even though we are only trainees, they don’t
treat us like others. And as a trainee we don’t feel uncomfortable as we worked
with them. They also encourage us to go on with our studies until we
become professional.

Benefits gained

OJT or on-the-job training - this type of training can help students to become
more familiar with the realities of working; in some cases, on-the-job training may
lead to a stable and fulfilling career. Students learn discipline, organization, and
people skills while they train out in the workforce. Since on-the-job training is
supervised by real employees in real-life work situations, anything can happen, and
students must learn "on their feet". Sometimes, this sink or swim method of learning
can be quite beneficial. Students will adjust to working, and they will gain
invaluable experience that they can take with them as they move forward with
future careers and education.

A. Problems encountered

The only problem you should have during ON THE JOB training is lack of
self-esteem. You are being trained you are not expected to know everything in one
day. Experience is gained through time. The longer you do something the more you
learn. The faster you gain knowledge & become a productive employee.
