EFFECTS OF ON-THE-JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS


 


1.0 Background of the Study


Evaluating job training programs are remarkably consistent — surprisingly so, given the variation in the kinds of programs that have been supported and the differences in the methods of evaluation. A large number of job training programs lead to increased earnings, and the benefits generally outweigh the costs — though the increases in earnings are moderate by almost any standards, insufficient to lift those enrolled in such programs out of poverty. Welfare-to-work programs also increase employment and reduce the amount of welfare, but they rarely allow individuals to leave welfare.


Furthermore, any benefits probably fade out after four or five years: job training programs seem to put many individuals on career trajectories with continued earning increases, as formal schooling does. For some groups — youth in particular — job training programs generally seem to be effective and programs appear to be more effective for women than for men — but otherwise it is difficult to conclude that any particular group benefits more than any other. Job training programs have created a substantial number of programs whose benefits–for individuals in dire need of employment and economic independence– completely inadequate to the task of moving them out of poverty, or into stable employment. Such well-intentioned efforts have been so effective. On-the-job training has a large positive effect on wages for employees , and  in jobs that require long on-the-job training earn significantly more than workers in jobs with short training requirements (2004).


 


2.0 Statement of the Problem


What are effects of on-the-job training on employees that contribute in an organization’s success? What is the comparison between the on-the-job-training and the job experience itself? It is useful to compare the intensity of job training programs to those of education programs, measuring intensity by expenditures .Is it really conducive to a surefire employment once the finished on-the-job-training is done?


On-the-job training increases boom-time employment ( 1996). Having a hands-on experience on what is like to work on the field of job that is chosen would be a key on having a firm background on the job itself. Would organizations benefit more on the people who have undergone an on-the-job training? How will employment be affected by these surge of on-the-job training people? All these questions and more will be explored in this research.


 


3.0 Research Objectives


            The main purpose of this study is to analyze the several activities or events that jeopardizes effective on-the-job training methods. This research, specifically, purports to determine how these activities affect employees on the placement of jobs. This paper aims to explore the level of productivity of a given organization if the employee has undergone an on-the-job training program. It also aims to distinguish the role of employees in the productivity of an organization. This research takes into account the practices that affect the effectiveness of an employee. The study also seeks to evaluate how on-the-job training programs contribute to the rise of an organization.


 


4.0 Research Methodology


This study will use the descriptive type of research. A descriptive research intends to present facts concerning the nature and status of a situation, as it exists at the time of the study and to describe present conditions, events or systems based on the impressions or reactions of the respondents of the research (1994). It is also concerned with relationships and practices that exist, beliefs and processes that are ongoing, effects that are being felt, or trends that are developing (1970).


In this study, primary and secondary research will be both incorporated. The reason for this is to be able to provide adequate discussion for the readers that will help them understand more about the issue and the different variables that involve with it. The primary data for the study will be represented by the survey results that will be acquired from the respondents. On the other hand, the literature reviews to be presented in the second chapter of the study will represent the secondary data of the study.


The research will be presented in written form with the addition of data charts which will present the project’s results. Pie charts and network charts will be needed to illustrate some of the analyzed data. This cannot be confirmed, however, until the research data have been analyzed.
