Internship or on the job training is one way by which, students are given

an opportunity to apply the theories and principles that they have learned from

school. It helps obtain applicable knowledge and skills by performing in actual

work setting. Colleges and universities require their students to undergo such

training within specific number of hours as part of the curriculum. For students,

an OJT or internship program provides opportunities to go through the actual

methodologies of a specific job using the real tools, equipments, and documents.

In effect, the work place becomes a development venue for student trainees to

learn more about their chosen field and practice what they have learned in

academe.

On the other hand, a valuable OJT program also profits the companies

who accept trainees. OJT provides extra manpower for a less significant labor

cost than a regular employee. Most of them are eager to learn the ropes so

chances are high that they will be given a chance to work on the same company

as an employee after graduating.

Employers can use this internship strategy as method in recruiting

employees. Since the trainer or supervisor can trace the trainees’ progress,

he/she can gauge based on performance, behavior and attitude if the trainee will

make good recruit after the completion of his internship.

We, trainees can bring fresh ideas into the organization. Given the

opportunity to converse our minds freely and without fear, we may be able to

contribute significantly in brainstorming sessions or research and eventually help

improve the organizations productivity.

While training the interns, employers also teaching their employees to

guide the trainees by extending their patience, developing teaching skills and

making them more sensitive to the needs and mind set of the younger

generations. The course of supervision also teaches them how to share what

they know and be receptive to questions. Hence, the internship also becomes an

avenue in training for future managers of the company.
