In which method of on-the-job training, the trainee is kept under the guidance of a master worker?

Apprenticeship

The correct answer is Option (2) → Apprenticeship

An apprenticeship is a long-term, structured training program that combines on-the-job training with classroom instruction. The key feature is the relationship between the trainee (apprentice) and a skilled, experienced worker (the master or master worker). The master worker provides direct, hands-on guidance, mentoring, and supervision, passing on their expertise in a particular trade or craft. Apprentices learn by observing, assisting, and then performing the tasks themselves under the careful supervision of their mentor. This method is common in trades like plumbing, electrical work, and carpentry.

• Vestibule training → Training is given in a classroom or workshop setting, away from the actual job.

• Job Rotation → Trainee is shifted from one job to another to gain wider experience.

• Simulation → Training is provided in an environment that closely resembles real job conditions (e.g., flight simulators).
