DefinitionOJT (On-the-Job Training) develops staff while they carry out actual work in the workplace, with a manager or senior colleague teaching the knowledge and skills the job requires.
ExplanationBecause what is taught ties directly to the task at hand, people can put it to use in their work right away. On the other hand, the quality of training tends to vary with the instructor's ability and how busy the workplace is.
AnalogyLike an apprentice carpenter who, instead of attending blueprint lectures in a classroom, sharpens their craft by picking up tools and working on the master's job site.
Memory hook"On the job" means "while doing the work". You learn on site, so remember it by the word on.
