18. TYPES OF TRAINING
• On-the-job training
(a) One-to-one instructions- Helping a trainee to acquire knowledge and skills
(b) Coaching- Developing the ability and experience of trainees by giving them
systematically planned and progressively more “stretching” tasks to perform
coupled with continuous appraisal and counselling
(c) On-the-job instruction- Used when the trainee is naïve and new to the job.
Coaching on the other hand is about helping the trainee to extend, improve or
develop already acquired basic skills.
18
19. • Off-the-job Training-
Courses/training given by the training department or outside consultants, or
personal learning packages etc. or group training by members
• Supporting-
is not actually training. The support role is more pastoral by nature. Support
trainers by discussing problems and progress, giving encouragement ( specially
for those working on an individual personal learning programme).
