THE OJT PROGRAM

Introduction

On-the-Job training or OJT is one method by which students is given a chance to apply the theories and computations that they have learned from the school. It also helps the students to acquire relevant knowledge and skills by performing in actual work setting. Colleges and universities require their students to undergo such training within a specific number of hours as part of the curriculum.

For us students from the College of Computing and Information Technology we define OJT as it provides opportunities to go through the actual experience of a specific job using the real tools, equipment, and documents. In effect, the work place becomes a development venue for us students’ trainee to learn more about our chosen field or career and practice what we have learned from the previous years in the school, and gives us the opportunity to what we’ve learned in our OJT for the coming years.

On-the-Job Training on the other hand is helpful and advantageous for the Company where practicum is conducted because we are added manpower and left significant cost to the employers as an addition to their regular workforce. This is a good chance for the trainees to give their best in their performance, for them to have a chance to be employed in the agency after their practicum.

The On-the-Job Training was conducted from November 23, 2015 to March 4, 2016 for the total of 486 hours at the Extension and Training Office – Isabela State University Cauayan City, Isabela.
