Apprentices who have received ‘practice-based OJT’ find that ‘the improvement in job skills through OJT’ and ‘the usage level of what had been learned through the Work-Study Dual System’ as the most positive outcome.
Compared to those who experienced three other types of OJT, apprentices who received ‘autonomous OJT’ perceived the following negatively: ‘the adequacy of operation methods,’ ‘the improvement in job performance through OJT,’ ‘the usage level of what had been learned through the Work-Study Dual System,’ ‘the level of the Work-Study Dual Program’s effect on improving immersion in organization and career,’ and ‘the satisfaction level of in-company trainers.’
The majority of the apprentices are in their early careers. Therefore clearly presenting the goals and contents through in-company trainers, whether it be through lectures, practice, or homework, and increasing interaction with apprentices are suggested to be effective in comparison to leaving it to their own.
