Job Training+definitions

Training & Development is the field concerned with workplace learning to improve performance. Such training can be generally categorized as on-the-job or off-the-job. On-the-job describes training that is given in a normal working situation, using the actual tools, equipment, documents or materials that they will use when fully trained. - Wikipedia at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_job_training Amy Sample Ward
