Neha joins a firm as an assistant to its marketing head. She works directly with him, and he takes full responsibility for guiding her. He reviews her progress from time to time and is grooming her to take over some of his duties. Which method of training is being used?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Coaching
Option (1) Coaching — Correct. In coaching, the trainee works directly with a senior manager, who takes full responsibility for guiding her. He reviews her progress and grooms her to take over some of his duties. Neha’s training is of this kind.
Option (2) Apprenticeship programme — Incorrect. An apprenticeship puts the trainee under a master worker to learn a skilled trade, such as an electrician’s. Neha is not learning a skilled trade from a master worker; her own senior manager is grooming her for his duties.
Option (3) Job rotation — Incorrect. Job rotation shifts the trainee from one department to another. Neha stays with one manager in one department.
Option (4) Internship training — Incorrect. Internship is a joint programme of educational institutions and business firms. Candidates carry on regular studies and also work in a factory or office. Neha is not a student doing regular studies; she works in the firm as an assistant.
