 INTRODUCTION

Training is teaching, or developing in oneself or in others, any skills and

knowledge that relate to specific useful competencies. Training has specific goals

of improving one’s capability. It is also the process of increasing the knowledge

and skills for doing a particular job. It basically bridges gap between job

requirement and present competence of an employee.

On – the – job training (OJT) is one of the paramount training methods

because it is planned, organized, and conducted at the employee's workplace.

During on – the – job training, a supervisor guides the trainee through tasks and

processes for them to know how to perform the obligation and to `what standard.

The supervisor observes the trainees while they perform their duties.

OJT is mainly suitable for developing expertise distinctive to an employee's

job, chiefly those positions whose work is relatively easy to learn and require

locally-owned equipment and facilities. The work performed by most people did

not rely on abstract thinking or academic education. Professionalism, self - esteem,

and also high yield are always high in those organizations that employ a logical

and reasonable on-the-job training program

Every company has its own employment needs. OJT program provides

them additional man power. Student trainees can bring ideas, and if even given

such opportunity to speak their minds freely, they can able to contribute

significantly that will possibly help for the productivity of the company.

More than the learning you can acquire the discipline and values you can get from the

people you work with and the experiences that would teach you essential things. It is

also a way to develop your social abilities in a way of gaining new friends and knowing

new people in the work place. By such means as well you can learn to adjust with the

different and diverse attitude of workmates. It would be easy for you to adjust in the

future.
 THE LINKAGE ESTABLISHMENT

BACKGROUND

THE C&F GROUP

Michael Carr & John Flaherty established the C&F Group in 1989. Sales revenue

for the C&F Group has grown steadily over the past five years and turnover in 2007

reached $100 million internationally.

This growth was achieved through shrewd financial management, identifying cost

improvements, investment in new technology, implementation of best practice

manufacturing processes and most importantly a vision to excel in service, building

customer relationships and continuous innovation.

The C&F Group is headquartered in a purpose built 180,000 sq. feet facility in

Athenry, Co. Galway. The C&F Group employs 984 people worldwide. C&F has a

significant number of Fortune 500 companies on its client list including IBM, EMC,

APC, Ingersoll Rand, Glen Dimplex, Sanyo and Hitachi Koki. Furthermore, C&F

have achieved ‘Top Tier Global Supply Status’ with three of the leaders in the

server rack business – IBM, EMC and APC.

Our value proposition is to deliver superior products and services to our clients.

The C&F Group has assembled a first-class team of industrial design experts to

deliver solutions based on innovation and engineering excellence.

The company has structured a unique set of distinctive capabilities based on

domain expertise, spanning from concept design to a world–class manufacturing

process.

Beyond our design and tooling expertise, our whole manufacturing process is a

blend of state-of-the-art technology and best in class industrial engineering know-

how, all of which is unrivalled by our competitors.

 C&F operational excellence is predicated by our ability to out-perform, out-class

and out-deliver our competitors on levels of workmanship quality, streamlined

manufacturing processes and un-surpassed levels of customer care and retention.

Our performance within our industry sector is in the upper quartile for our client’s

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

INTRODUCTION
At the C&F Group our Corporate Social Responsibility charter is four fold – community based, employee focused,
environment based and marketplace aware.

COMMUNITY BASED
At the C&F Group we nurture a direct interaction between the company and the communities where we have
facilities. The work we do generates economic and social vibrancy in each locality. The C&F Group is regarded as
an integral part of the communities we operate in; we have built on this goodwill by using our grassroots knowledge
to support community-focused initiatives.We operate a number of programmes which support local educational
establishments through to sponsoring social and sporting initiatives.

When deciding on community-based initiatives we choose projects which reflect the companys philosophy, fulfils a
need within the community and matches the available resources of the group.
EMPLOYEE FOCUSED
Employees provide the know-how, productivity, customer service and innovativeness necessary for the C&F Group
to grow our business. Therefore, the continued success of the C&F Group is reliant on the commitment of our staff.
At the C&F Group we have put in place policies that promote the retention and development of our staff and nurture
workplace environments that will attract and retain recruits of the highest calibre. As a testiment to this everyone on
the management team at the C&F Group have come up through the ranks by starting on the shopfloor, this appraoch
could be regarded as old fahioned but it has proven to be a successful one for the C&F Group. Our workplace CSR
policy touches on many different areas of our HR policy such as health and safety, the work-life balance of our
employees, staff diversity and cultural awareness.

We have fostered a healthy balance between the work and non-work aspects of employees lives. This is essential
in order to avoid burn out of our staff and for retaining a committed, motivated and innovative workplace environment.
The workplace at the C&F Group is an intercultural workplace which takes account of the different ethnic and social
backgrounds of our staff and we encourage an inclusive working environment that is supportive of diversity.

At our facility in China the dormitories have been described as the best ever seen in China. In China this is vital –
there is a growing labour shortage in southern China and workers vote with their feet if they feel conditions are not
good enough. Due to a natural disaster in the Philippines our employees lost their homes and through an initiative
within the group we helped with the rebuild.

ENVIRONMENT BASED
Public concern regarding the impact of commercial activities on the environment has increased significantly in recent
years. At the C&F Group we are continously striving to implement initiatives which enable sustainable development.
To this end the C&F Group's environment based CSR projects go beyond the legislative obligations and promote
greener economic growth.

The results of these projects are quantifiable and are measured as part of a pursuit for continuous improvement.
Within the C&F Group we have deployed a software which is being used to measure and reduce the levels of engergy
being used within the production process. Coupled with this the C&F Group have engaged a consultancy group
whose brief is to measure, manage and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions produced by the manufactuing
activities at each facility.

This project will enable the C&F Group to benchmark our carbon footprint and set reduction targets. At the C&F
Group we are committed to eliminating waste by using, where possible, recyclable and biodegradable products. Our
teams are committed to the WEEE and RoHS EU Directives and we actively work with our customers to ensure that
their products comply with these directives.

MARKETPLACE AWARE
Within the C&F Group our marketplace CSR commitment is twofold; our suppliers and our customers. At the C&F
Group we aim to ensure that our suppliers are providing adequate pay and working conditions to their employees,
have effective environmental-protection policies in place and conduct their business activities in a transparent
manner that is inline with good corporate behaviour.

Domestic and international blue chip companies make up the C&F Group's customer base. Our customers have
comprehensive CSR charters in place. Finally, in this context the C&F Group implements initiatives such as customer
service programmes which effectively monitor complaints and aim to provide continuous improvement within our
design and production facilities.
