AND MOTIVATION
Make the Learning Meaningful
1. At the start of training, provide a bird’s-eye view
of the material to be presented to facilitate learning.
2. Use a variety of familiar examples.
3. Organize the information so you can present it logically, and in
meaningful units.
4. Use terms and concepts that are already familiar
to trainees.
5. Use as many visual aids as possible.
6. Create a perceived training need in trainees’ minds.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Make Skills Transfer Easy
1. Maximize the similarity between the training situation and
the work situation.
2. Provide adequate practice.
3. Label or identify each feature of the machine
and/or step in the process.
4. Direct the trainees’ attention to important aspects
of the job.
5. Provide “heads-up,” preparatory information that lets
trainees know what might happen back on
the job.

STEPS IN OJT
Step 1: Prepare the learner
 Put the learner at ease—relieve the tension.
 Explain why he or she is being taught.

 Explain the whole job and relate it to some job the worker
already knows.
 Place the learner as close to the normal working position as
possible.
 Familiarize the worker with equipment, materials, tools, and
trade terms.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Step 2: Present the operation
 Explain quantity and quality requirements.
 Go through the job at the normal work pace.
 Go through the job at a slow pace several times,
explaining each step. Between operations, explain
the difficult parts, or those in which errors are
likely to be made.
 Again go through the job at a slow pace several
times; explain the key points.
 Have the learner explain the steps as you go
through the job at a slow pace.

you.
 Correct mistakes and, if necessary, do some of the complicated steps the first few
times.
 Run the job at the normal pace.
 Have the learner do the job, gradually building up skill and speed.
 As soon as the learner demonstrates ability to do the job, let the work begin, but don’t
abandon him or her.

STEPS IN OJT
(CONT’D)
Step 4: Follow up
 Designate to whom the learner should go for help.
 Gradually decrease supervision, checking work from
time to time against quality and quantity standards.
 Correct faulty work patterns before they become a
habit. Show why the learned method is superior.
 Compliment good work; encourage the worker until he
or she is able to meet the quality and quantity
standards.
