Introduction
“Everything is always created twice, first in the mind and then in reality.”
The knowledge of a student gained from the college professors are not enough when onlylearned by
pure imagination. That is why an internship or the so-called OJT (On-the-Job Training)is created. This
serves as a way that gives students a chance to apply the lessons learned from theschool. It also aids the
students to achieve relevant knowledge and skills through the actualexperience in working in the field of
their profession. Thus, the workplace and the field serve as anew venue of learning for the student.Onthe-job training is valuable where realism is essential. Students are required tocomplete such hours of
training. It is a particularly good way of developing technical skills andexpertise. During on-the-job
training, a supervisor guides the trainee through tasks and processesfor them to know how to perform
the obligation and to what standard. Typically, the supervisor observes the trainees while they perform
their duties. After observation, the observer provides thetrainees with feedback on their
performance.For a company or an organization who willingly accept a student trainee, OJT
programprovides them additional manpower without expecting salary to pay back. Student trainees
canbring fresh ideas, and if even given such opportunity to speak their minds freely, they maybe ableto
contribute significantly in brainstorming sessions that will possibly help for the productivity of
thecompany. As for the OJT program for Electronics Engineering, the students would be
trainedtechnically in their chosen field of interest. This provides opportunities to go through the
actualmethodologies of a specific job using real tools, equipments and documents. In effect, this
willcertainly lead them for their professional growth and development.Generally, while training the
interns, supervisors are in fact also teaching the process of guiding the trainees stretches their patience,
develops engineering skills and makes them moresensitive to the needs and mind set of the younger
generation. The course of supervision alsoteaches them how to share what they know and be receptive
to questions. Hence, theinternship also becomes an avenue in training for future employees and
managers.
