4.2 On-the-job Training: The purpose of the OJT program is to encourage the exercising of knowledge and skills in a controlled setting at the job site.

a) The OJT program is based on the concept of a “Structured OJT System”; the identification of training objectives and the planned process of developing task level expertise by having an experienced qualified employee train a new employee at the work setting.

b) To be effective the program objectives must be met within a specified time frame. The recommendation is that this period would be within 12 months from the date in which training commenced.

4.3 Additional training as requested and specified by the region may be provided by AARPG if required.

5. APPENDICES

5.1 Appendix A is to be used as the identification and history form for recording completion of mandatory training, providing authorization signatures of supervisory and management personnel.

5.2 Appendix B (OJT Sign-off) is composed of a transcript of the available DOA, referencing the applicable DOA document, utilizing the same numbering system.

(a) The responsible Regional Manager will designate the tasks applicable for each individual upon commencement of OJT training. Any task for which DOA is to be given is considered a “Class 1, Mandatory” task (see item b).

(b) When assigning / designating tasks some consideration should be made to classify the tasks in the following manner:

(i) Class 1 - Mandatory; must be done, no alternative.

(ii) N/A - delegation is not to be granted; supervisor indicates an “N/A” in the Class column.

(c) The candidate is required to complete two (2) forms of OJT for each task type that DOA is to be issued for.

(i) Type A – Assist (a measured progressive involvement in tasks; “watch and do” under supervision)

(ii) Type B - Independent / Project (without direct supervision, process applications to a recommend level. A fair measure of self-cognizance).

5.3 Task Repetitions: tasks must be repeated a set number of times (i.e. no less than 15 to ensure that the individual in cognizant of the policies and procedures pertaining to each individual situation; and is able to identify situations that are not of a normal scenario).

5.4 Appendix C is to be used to record the types of delegations issued and authorized to each individual.

5.5 Documentation: required to control the system and provide a history of the training for each individual.

6.3 If the designated tasks are completed and the work is considered satisfactory, the OJT designee / supervisor completes section 3 of the OJT Identification and History Form (Appendix A) and submits it to the Regional Manager for his signature and authorization for the issue of Delegation Authority Documents.

6.4 The system is designed to be controlled by the Regional Manager. It is their function to set the scope of the delegation relative to the position, and assign tasks as they require.
