ITPEC IP April 2021 Question 67
Which of the following examples of capacity building and guidance for subordinates is classified as OJT?
Explanation
Taking part in a new development project to improve design capabilities — OJT develops skills through actual work, under a superior's guidance.
OJT (on-the-job training) teaches the knowledge and skills a job needs while the employee does real work, with a boss or senior colleague guiding them. Off-JT (off-the-job training) takes the employee away from daily work to a course or seminar. Assigning subordinates to a real development project so that they build design skill by doing design is OJT.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- •(a) — having subordinates set career goals and plans is career development planning (CDP), not training through work
- •(b) — a manager development course run by the Personnel Department is classroom training away from the job, Off-JT
- •(d) — an externally hosted seminar is also Off-JT, however well it matches their careers
Key rule: Ask where the learning happens: during actual work under guidance is OJT; in a course, seminar or class away from the work is Off-JT; self-directed study is self-development.
