Explain the following methods of training the workers:
(i) Apprenticeship Programme
(ii) Vestibule Training
(iii) Internship
(i) Apprenticeship Programme: This method is used in those cases where long-term training is required to attain complete proficiency to perform a particular job. The trainee is required to work with an expert for a specific period of time. The period of training may often vary from two to seven years. During the course of training, the expert imparts complete knowledge of both theoretical and practical aspects of the job.
Vestibule Training: Under this method, with a view to imparting training to new employees, a separate training centre is set up. An experienced and trained trainer is appointed as an incharge of the centre. Machines, tools and other equipments are so arranged in this centre as to present a look of a workshop. When the employees are trained they are put on the real job.
Internship: Under internship training, technical institutions and business organisations jointly impart training to their members. The objective of this training is to strike a balance between theoretical and practical knowledge. Educational institutions impart theoretical knowledge to their students but for practical knowledge they are sent to business organisations. Likewise, employees already working in business organisations are sent to educational institutions from time-to-time to get latest theoretical knowledge. In this way, both kinds of institutions render mutual help to each other.
