Of a specific job using the real tools, equipments and documents. In effect, the workplace becomes a development venue for a student trainee to learn more about his chosen field and practice what he has learn from the workplace. On the other hand, an effective OJT program also benefits the companies who accept trainees. First OJT or intern provides additional manpower for lesser labor cost than a regular employee. Most of them are all eager to learn the ropes so chances are high that they will cooperate. Employers can use this internship strategy as a method in recruiting new employees. Since the trainer or the supervisor can follow the trainees’ progress, he can gauge based on performance, behavior and attitude if the trainee will make a good recruit after the completion of his training. OJT’s can bring fresh ideas into the organization. Given the opportunity to speak their minds freely and without fear, they maybe able to contribute significantly in brainstorming sessions or research and eventually help improve the organizations productivity. While training the interns, employers are in fact also teaching their employees to process of guiding the trainees stretches their patience, develops teaching skills and makes them more sensitive to the needs and mind set of the younger generation. The course of supervision also teaches them how to share what they know and be receptive to questions. Hence, the internship also becomes an avenue in training for future managers of the company. Accommodating on-the-job trainees can truly be beneficial not only to the trainees but also to the companies that provide opportunities for this type of learning. There is wisdom in the front lines. Such training can be an investment that will be valuable to the company later on. This is also why trainees should take their internship seriously as it can become a powerful tool and possibly even a source of recommendation when they take that big lift from being students to career professionalism.

Narrative Experience November 12, 2012 was the start of our on-the-job training together with my fiend Angel Arellano at Iloilo City Development Bank. My first day wasn’t that good for me it’s because I was so shy as we enter the door of the bank. I and Angel are so nervous because at first we are not familiar with the employee and in the kind of work they may given to us. Working-out on adjusting with the changing working environment was also a good point of improvement for us. Basics in filling of important files and filling of daily reports were also learned early that week. But during my first day in the office it’s been very hard for me to file those documents, maybe because I am confused of what I am doing. In the first day, we were introduced by the manager Sir Bong, who interviewed and accepted our applications in the previous week. Everyone in the office was very welcoming and wears gestures that guaranteed joyful working vicinity with us. Some costumer-oriented skills were also taught in assisting walk in clients. I was train at Iloilo city Development Bank for almost four (4) months and observed the daily activities and practices of the employees inside the office, as well as the rules and regulations that all staffs and officers must fulfill with. And of course as trainees, we must wear our corporate attire or OJT uniform from Monday to Friday except for Saturday which serves as our washday in the office. I have to be at the bank at 9:00 am after my class in tax.400. Absences are recorded at our DTR and we have to ask permission to the manager or other personnel to give respect before we leave the bank premises. We have to give valuable reasons for leaving when buying some snacks outsides. I participated in the normal operation of the office by doing the tasks that assigned to me. The second week was merely the implementations of everything that have learned in the first week, plus the additional continuous feeding-in knowledge and experiences.
