Academic institutions are faced with challenges particularly on the skills they

inculcate among students which could match the needs of the industry. A

great number of these skills found lacking by companies are taught in the academe

that is, technical, human resource and conceptual skills. In addition to that, these

same skills can also be reinforced through on-the-job training programs.

On-the-job training (OJT) programs are course requirements providing an

opportunity to apply the theories, principles and ideas learned in the academe

under supervision. These training programs expose the students to work realities

which will ideally hone their skills and prepare them once they get out of the

university or college. A study conducted by the People Management Association of

the Philippines (PMAP) in 2006, emphasized the importance of an effective on-the

job training program. Achievement of the OJT program objectives ensures the
possibility of good performer graduates. The opposite will most likely produce

poor performer graduates thus, promoting job-skill mismatch. Hence, on-the-job

training programs, vital as it is, should be dynamic and skill-centered for the

students to effectively grasp the practical learning in the workplace.

Relative to this, a great number of universities and colleges utilize national

government agencies and private institutions or Host Training Institutions as venues for their on-

the-job training programs. Because of the importance of on-the-job training programs, there is a

need to ensure that students undertaking their training in these private and public

institutions are given skill-specific tasks and mentoring.

But since we are facing a new challenge brought by the COVID-19 pandemic there are

new normal guidelines we can suggest to ensure students can still practice their knowledge in a

real life scenario or business- related work place. Here are the guidelines we can consider in lieu

for the OJT requirement:
