IV. Problems met while on training.

1. School related problems,

2. Company-related problems.

1. School-Related Problems

Balancing academic responsibilities and applying theoretical knowledge

in practical settings are common challenges faced by many students
during their academic journey. Overcoming these challenges requires
effective time management, prioritization, and extra effort to bridge the
gap between theory and practice.

One of the major challenges I encountered was managing the demands of

my academic papers and the other SIT requirements while fulfilling the
requirements of my on-the-job training. Juggling schoolwork with a full-
time commitment to on-the-job training required me to employ effective
time management and prioritize my tasks. This experience taught me the
importance of organizational skills and the ability to handle multiple
responsibilities simultaneously.

Additionally, I found it challenging to apply theoretical knowledge

learned in school to practical tasks during my on-the-job training. There
was often a disconnect between theory and practice, which necessitated
extra effort to bridge. I had to engage in additional study and consult
 with my mentors to fully comprehend and apply theoretical concepts in
real-world scenarios.

In conclusion, managing academic responsibilities while participating in

practical training and bridging the gap between theory and practice have
been valuable learning experiences for me. These challenges have
enhanced my time management skills, prioritization abilities, and the
capacity to adapt theoretical knowledge to real-world situations.

2. Company-Related Problems

Adapting to the professional work environment and its demands

presented an initial challenge as I transitioned from a classroom setting
to a fast-paced, hands-on workplace. Understanding complex electrical
systems and unfamiliar equipment occasionally posed technical
challenges, requiring additional learning and causing delays in task
completion. Moreover, limited access to certain tools or materials at
times hindered our work, prompting us to seek alternative solutions or
wait for resources to become available. Additionally, the workplace
environment was often noisy, especially when the generator was turned
on, and there were instances when we forgot to wear our protective ear-
gear. As an OJT student, I found the physical demands of the work to be
quite challenging at times.

III. Suggestions and Recommendations (For the improvement of the curricula.)

I recommend enhancing the curriculum to better prepare students for their

On-the-Job Training (OJT) through several key initiatives. Firstly, there
should be an increased emphasis on practical training, including more
hands-on lab sessions and exercises that simulate real-world scenarios. This
will bridge the gap between theory and practice, making students more
confident and competent in applying their knowledge in actual work
environments. Secondly, industry-specific workshops led by professionals
should be introduced to expose students to current technologies and
practices, ensuring they are up to date with industry standards. Lastly, a
feedback mechanism and mentorship program should be established to
provide students with valuable guidance and support during OJT training.
Also, improve the processing of papers and requirements for OJT. Many of
us got delayed and didn't start on the day that should start the training
because of requirements. Be clear with the announcement.

In conclusion, by implementing the proposed curriculum enhancements and

streamlining the OJT paperwork and requirements, we can better prepare
students for their On-the-Job Training (OJT) and ensure they are well-
supported throughout the process.
