Training is any process by which the aptitudes, skills and abilities of employees to perform specific jobs are increased. There are various methods of training. These are broadly categorised into two groups: On-the-Job and Off-the-Job methods.

On the Job Methods:

• (i) Apprenticeship Programs
• (ii) Coaching
• (iii) Internship Training
• (iv) Job Rotation

Off the Job Methods:

• (i) Class Room Lectures/Conferences
• (ii) Films
• (iii) Case Study
• (iv) Computer Modelling
• (v) Vestibule Training
• (vi) Programmed Instruction

Vestibule training- Employees learn their jobs on the equipment they will be using, but the training is conducted away from the actual work floor. Actual work environments are created in a class room and employees use the same materials, files and equipment. This is usually done when employees are required to handle sophisticated machinery and equipment.

Internship training involves working in a real-world setting, often under the supervision of experienced professionals. While internships can provide valuable experience, they are not structured to address specific skill gaps in the way that vestibule training is.

Job rotation: Job Rotation involves shifting the trainee from one department to another or from one job to another. This enables the trainee to gain a broader understanding of all parts of the business and how the organisation as a whole functions. The trainee gets fully involved in the departments operations and also gets a chance to test her own aptitude and ability.

Case Study: Taken from actual experiences of organisations, cases represent attempts to describe, as accurately as possible real problems that managers have faced. Trainees study the cases to determine problems, analyse causes, develop alternative solutions, select what they believe to be the best solution, and implement it.

Apprenticeship programmes put the trainee under the guidance of a master worker. These are designed to acquire a higher level of skill. People seeking to enter skilled jobs, to become, for example, plumbers, electricians or iron-workers, are often required to undergo apprenticeship training. These apprentices are trainees who spend a prescribed amount of time working with an experienced guide, or trainer.
