Which term describes training a person to learn a job while working on it again, often in the context of on-the-job practices?

• A. On-the-job training (OJT)
• B. Cloud-based Training
• C. Program Development
• D. Apprenticeship Training

Answer: (A)

On-the-job training is learning by doing, right in the actual work setting. It trains a person to perform the job tasks while they are working, with guidance and feedback from a supervisor or seasoned coworker. This hands-on approach lets you pick up real-time skills, safety procedures, and company practices as you go, building competence as you perform the duties themselves.

Cloud-based training isn’t tied to performing the job in a real work context; it’s typically remote or online instruction. Program development is about designing training programs, not delivering the job-specific instruction. Apprenticeship training is a structured, longer-term arrangement that combines paid work with formal classroom learning; while it is a form of on-the-job learning, the description here most directly matches the broader, immediate on-the-job approach.
