20% off the job training
Off-the-job training is training received by the apprentice, during the apprentice’s paid hours, for the purpose of achieving their apprenticeship. It’s not what the candidate will be doing in their day to day job role but it will enable them to learn new skills, which will benefit them. All this can be done in the work place.
Examples of what would class as off the job training is:
- Watching Lectures or Seminars
- Shadowing somebody else in a similar job role
- Receiving Mentoring from someone above them E.G. Their manager.
- Online Learning
- Writing assignments or doing assessments
