Solution
There are various methods of training. These are broadly categorized into two groups:
1. On-the-Job:- On-the-Job methods refer to the methods that are applied to the workplace, while the employee is actually working. Various on-the-job methods are:
(i) Apprenticeship Programmes: Apprenticeship programmes put the trainee under the guidance of a master worker. These are designed to acquire a higher level of skill.
(ii) Coaching: In this method, the superior guides and instructs the trainee as a coach. The coach or counselor sets mutually agreed upon goals, suggests how to achieve these goals, periodically reviews the trainee's progress, and suggests changes required in behavior and performance.
(iii) Internship Training: It is a joint programme of training in which educational institutions and business firms co-operate. Selected candidates carry on regular studies for the prescribed period.
(iv) Job Rotation: This kind of training involves shifting the trainee from one department to another or from one job to another.
2. Off-the-Job methods - Off-the-Job methods are used away from the workplace. Various off-the-job methods are:
(i) Class Room Lectures/Conferences: The lecture or conference approach is well adapted to conveying specific information rules, procedures or methods.
(ii) Films: They can provide information and explicitly demonstrate skills that are not easily represented by the other techniques.
(iii) Case Study: Taken from actual experiences of organisations, cases represent attempts to describe, as accurately as possible real problems that managers have faced.
(iv) Computer Modelling: It simulates the work environment by programming a computer to imitate some of the realities of the job and allows learning to take place without the risk or high costs that would be incurred if a mistake were made in a real-life situation.
(v) Vestibule Training: Employees learn their jobs on the equipment they will be using, but the training is conducted away from the actual work floor.
(vi) Programmed Instruction: This method incorporates a prearranged and proposed acquisition of some specific skills or general knowledge.
