Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

On-the-job training allows trainees to learn by observing experienced employees and working with actual materials, personnel, or machinery, making it the best choice when practical experience is essential for learning. Coaching, programmed instruction, and hierarchical sequencing may not be as effective for this type of training, and simultaneous training of a large group with on-the-job training may not allow for individual attention and feedback.
