Different types of Employee Training

Question

What are the different types of Employee Training?

Answer 1

Some commentator use a similar term for workplace learning to improve performance: “training and development”.

One can generally categorize such training as on-the-job or off-the-job:

1. On-the-job training takes place in a normal working situation, using the actual tools, equipment, documents or materials that trainees will use when fully trained.

2. Off-the-job training takes place away from normal work situations — implying that the employee does not count as a directly productive worker while such training takes place.
