I. INTRODUCTION

On-the-Job Training is the oldest form of training. Prior to the advent of off-site

training classrooms, the only practical way of learning a job was working alongside an

experienced worker in a particular trade or professionas evinced by the practice

of apprenticeship during the Middle Ages when master craftsmen passed on skills and

knowledge to novices who worked alongside them.

On-the-Job Training, also known as OJT, is a training that teaches the skills,

knowledge, and competencies that are needed to perform a specific job within the

workplace and work environment. It uses the regular or existing workplace tools,

machines, documents, equipment, knowledge and skills necessary for a trainee to learn

to effectively perform his or her job.

The On-the-Job Training will be experienced within the normal working

environment. It may occur as the trainee performs actual work or it may occur

elsewhere within the workplace using training rooms, training work stations, or training

equipment. As what has been mentioned in the first paragraph, On-the-Job Training is

most frequently conducted by an employee who can competently perform the job that

he or she is teaching.

For the students, On-the-Job Training is the best opportunity to go through the

actual methodologies of a specific job using the real tools, equipment and documents.

In this training, student trainees acquire both general skills that they can transfer from

one job to another and specific skills that are unique to a particular job. These skills

include verbal and written instruction, demonstration and observation, and hands-on

practice and imitation.

With this kind of training, student trainees are given the chance to experience the

real industry, an experience in which each of them will be moulded into a more

competent individual.
II. COMPANY BACKGROUND

and assembly, modularization and asset management services to the oil & gas, mining,

power and civil infrastructure sectors. They accelerate infrastructure deployment and

One of which shaped the modern face of the Philippines, working across the

engineering and construction spectra on key projects, ranging from the countrys first

steel bridge, Manilas water and sewage systems, a major convention center,

skyscrapers and national monuments. Decades of steady growth, ingenuity and

dependability followed, and these traits now underpin AG&P's reputation as one of the

III. TRAINING DETAILS

i. Personal

Being a student trainee for almost 4 months in PSPC, the

experience helped me discover and develop more of my skills and

personality. Some of which are:

Having good communication/relationship towards co-

trainees, employees and supervisors

Accepting tasks with full enthusiasm and interest
Importance of Safety
Priority setting
Stepping up to the challenges
Having initiative to do task

ii. Interpersonal

Working in an office full of engineers allowed me to see what they

do and how they do it. With this, I have learned different attitudes such

as:
Openness to different personalities and opinions
Respecting ones peers
Remaining calm amidst peer pressure

The engineers that I have worked with never fail to remind me to

love every piece of work that I am doing. They say that once I lose the

love for my job, I lose my path to success. And now, Im living with that

advice.
iii. Technical

Project Controls Department gave me a lot of opportunities to

exercise and practice my skill in my field of work. They taught me how a

Construction Company works by delivering projects to the clients in

time. From the manpower to the engineered modules, Project Controls

Department taught me everything on how to be a productive engineer in

their company.

They assigned me to manage the shipped packages that will be

used to assemble the module. They entrusted me to create a master list

of all the shipped packages and tag all the productivities happening

each day. They were certain that I am skilled enough to deliver all of

these reports to our clients. I became very efficient in Microsoft Excel as

I do all the tasks entrusted to me in this period.

I also learned to use Oracle a website specially designed for the

Company. I was taught to issue move orders for the needs of

employees and the items in the office. I was assigned to organize the

payables in controlling the cost of the Department.

For more than 3 months of being in the AG&P, I was exposed to

tons of engineering drawings that made me familiarize in the structural

drawings for Fabrication, Erection, Weldmap and also in Piping. With

the help of my supervisor and other employees, I have learned things I

never knew I would.

iv. Program Specific

 Atlantic Gulf & Pacific Co. of Manila Inc. or AG&P helped me attain

my objectives in my On-the-Job Training. The Company exposed me to

different preparations and tasks in coordination with the other

employees to help the company in delivering the modules to the client

in time. First, the Company conducted a 1-day orientation for Safety to

make us familiarized with the Safety Rules that the Company exercises.

Second, my supervisor and the other employees trained me to be a part

of their team and taught me things that must be regularly done for the

project. I was trained to create or do the Master Lists, Tagging List,

Move Orders, Man-Hour Checking, Productivity Tracking, Document

Transmittals, Revising Document Transmittals, Finding for the Missing

Beams, Organizing Payables, Issuing Personal Protective Equipment,

Submitting Reports to Clients, Organizing Engineering Drawings, and

Revising Engineering Drawings.

The company conducts toolbox meeting regularly and the

department allows us to join the meeting while they brainstorm over the

safety precautions that will improve the safety in the workspace.

Moreover, the Manager, Supervisors and all the other employees

trained me to be a responsible and determined engineer in the future

that wont give up easily in the challenges of life.

IV. TRAINING ASSESSMENT IN RELATION TO PROGRAM OUTCOMES

As an On-the-Job Trainee in Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation, Tabangao

Refinery, Planning Department, I was introduced in multiple learning that built the

foundation of my knowledge in the field of engineering. It developed my skills not only

technically, but also interpersonally and intrapersonally. Although I admit that most of my
works are far from my field of engineering, I admire the perseverance of my supervisor

and other employees to reach out to me and make sure that I am learning.

Most importantly, Atlantic Gulf and the Pacific Company of Manila Inc. have

taught me that dreams do not become reality through magic; It takes sweat,

determination and hard work.
