You develop language and communication skills while you work. On-the-job (OTJ) training is highly effective because your training takes place alongside your daily work. Your trainer uses your work situation as the basis for your learning. OTJ training takes place at work, while you are working which means you can easily transfer your learning to your job.
How does on-the-job training work?
The trainer is there when you need assistance in preparing emails, specifications, manuals, reports, slides and other documentation. The trainer is also available to you for preparing and shadowing meetings, phone calls, web meetings, teleconferences, presentations and negotiations. The trainer delivers flexible on-the-job support and training, and addresses your priorities. It can be reactive, e.g., “Can you take a look at these slides for me?” or proactive, e.g. The trainer encourages you to share work you have done/are doing.
Learning while you work is highly effective: 70% of learning comes through experience.
Instead, you gain work experience and training while dealing with your tasks and challenges.
And you perform more effectively.
Business English in action
Our client has been a leading global provider of biogas plants since 1995. The company provides comprehensive solutions from one single source and has installed more than 500 plants worldwide. With a global customer base, being able to work in English has always been important. However the German parliament’s decision in 2014 to substantially reduce biogas subsidies made the need to sell and deliver globally a business-critical challenge. Being able to work confidently in English was now a must.
“The implementation of the training concept was very easy. Because of the structure we were able to set up a schedule in a very short time, organize assessments, assess language skills and directly start with the training.”
C. B-L, Head of HR
We developed a blended approach based around the core strengths of the InCorporate Trainer solution – flexibility, tailored training and on-the-job support. Business English training became job-specific and practical. When staff needed to write documents and mails, join meetings, or make calls, our trainer proactively provided on-the-job support. This then led to feedback, which in turn was used to further customize the focus and content of scheduled training (seminars, 1-to-1 training, groups and online). Finally, regular updating and reporting meant that the client had transparency and control over their training investment.
