Abstract

On-the-job training is a hands-on method of imparting the vital knowledge, skills, and competencies required for employees to accomplish specific tasks within the workplace. As a training program for students, this training is designed to immerse learners in work environments relevant to their area of study to learn knowledge on, productivity in, and respect for the workplace. Essentially, an on-the-job training program bridges the gap between academia and industry. This study sought to assess the on-the-job training program of Nueva Vizcaya State University Bambang Campus to enhance/improve the training program of the institution as perceived by fourth year BSHRM students at Nueva Vizcaya State University Bambang Campus. The study included 30 On-the-Job Trainees of the BSHRM program of the academic year 2018-2019. A descriptive research strategy was employed, and a survey questionnaire was used to collect the data. The data were statistically treated using the frequency distribution, weighted mean and Friedman test. The findings showed that the respondents are Satisfied of the OJT Program across all indicators and revealed no significant differences. The respondents were also honest and open when asked about how the school can better their on-the-job training program and suggested that the institution shall provide free accommodation, improve the OJT’s standards and process, and to provide international on-the-job training. Such results and student recommendations were suggested to be included in a further review of the current OJT program of the university.
