Training & Learning Center

On-The-Job Training (OJT)

 OJT training, sometimes called direct instruction, is probably most rewarding and also the most popular method of training because it is most practical and real experience that can be tried and tested by the employee. For that reason, the OJT (On Job Training) program is of prime importance for our training calendar. The training requirements are defined by a committee involving the training coordinators, HOD (head of department), senior employees, and outside instructors, then the program is compiled in the annual training program as per ISO requirements and company vision. Finally, the training instructors are finalized and schedule is fixed. The training programs cover different subject and programs like 5S system, safety and environment, ISO 14001, ISO 18001, and technical operational subjects. The trainees are evaluated and granted a certificate of success.
