The Importance of On-the-Job Training. There was a time in America when virtually all workers learned their craft or skilled positions on the job.

As the manufacturing sector expanded between the late nineteenth century until recently, on-the-job training was often replaced by seminars and other job-enhancement techniques at off-site locations. Those were - and still are, in many cases - attended by supervisors, who then brought back newly learned techniques to the manufacturer and then taught them to their section's employees.
