Summary
On-the-job training (OJT) is the training of employees at the place of work while he or she is doing the actual job. Usually a professional trainer (or sometimes an experienced employee) serves as the course instructor using hands-on training often supported by formal classroom training. Source [2] It is a tool for transferring knowledge and skills. It is important to note, that OJT is one of the tools for transferring the tacit knowledge of the trainer.
