On-the-job training (OJT) is a hands-on method of teaching employees new skills and job knowledge directly in the work environment, typically under the guidance of an experienced coworker or supervisor. It contrasts with classroom-based instruction by emphasizing learning through direct practice and real work tasks. Employers use OJT extensively in fields like manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and skilled trades to quickly build practical competency.
