13. Training
There are three main types of training you should be familiar with:          Induction training is given to all new recruits. It has the objective of introducing them to the people that they will be working with most closely, explaining the internal organisational structure, outlining the layout of the premises and making clear essential health and safety issues.
On-the-job training involves instruction at the place of work. It is often conducted either by the HR managers or departmental training officers. Watching or working closely with existing experienced members of staff is a frequent component of this form of training. It ischeaper than sending recruits on external training courses and the content is controlled by the business itself.
Off-the-job training entails any course of instruction away from the place of work. This could be a specialist training centre belonging to the firm itself or a course organised by an outside body, such as a university or computer manufacturer, tom introduce new ideas that no one in the firm currently has knowledge of. These courses can be expensive, yet they may be indispensable if the firm lacks anyone with this degree of technical knowledge.
