On-the-job training is a form of training provided at the workplace. During the training, employees are familiarized with the working environment they will become part of. Employees also get a hands-on experience using machinery, equipment, tools, materials, etc 

Key Takeaways:

• The reason on-the-job training is important is that the exact same job in two different companies may have a different approach, different computer programs, and unique ways of handling the job tasks.

• You should never feel thrown off if an employer requires on-the-job training. It’s not that they doubt your ability; it’s just they need things done a certain way.

• Almost all jobs do some kind of on-the-job training, just some jobs have a more in-depth training than others
