I. Introduction

OJT (On-Job-Training) is an important topic of human resource

management. It helps to develop the career of the individual and the prosperous
growth of the organization. On-the-job training is a form of training provided at
the work place. During the training, trainees are familiarized with the working
environment they will become part of. They also gets hands-on experience using
machinery, equipment, tools, materials, etc. Part of the on-the-job training is to
face challenges that occur during the performance of the job. An experienced
employee or manager are executing the role of the mentor who written, or verbal
instructions and demonstrations are passing on his/her knowledge and company-
specific skills to the new employee.
Leading this training properly prepares the future professionalism of the
students for their future careers. Students will not only learn academically but
socially as well. Since they work with different professionals on the field, the way
they work and communicate with other people will not be a problem for them
anymore. This will help the trainee to know and learn how to adjust to other
people’s attitudes and personalities. This will also give the trainee a chance to
immerse himself in his chosen field and experience and develop the skills
necessary to the industry he chooses. This program also gives the student
trainee a chance to learn more about the proper application of work ethics and be
more responsible individual. Moreover, this also help the trainee to adjust from
being a student-minded to a more responsible and credible person.
This technical narrative report is consisting of learning and experiences
acquired by a student trainee who took up this program in Philippine National Oil
Company – Energy Supply Base. He was assigned weekly in different
departments in Research, HSSE, Operations, Maintenance and Administrative.
