On the job Training are part of a college curriculum that aims to train and orient
students about the work and their future career. OJT is very important not only to teach
students their chosen career but to show students the reality about working. OJT will be
your training ground. If you still have no idea on what is meant to be a worker, OJT will
give you at least 10% of career realities. Your background OJT experience is very
important when applying a job. Employers often asked about the OJT experience and
how it is related on the job that you are applying for.
Most students have taken their OJT for granted; not realizing the importance it
can bring on their future career. Having a good performance during OJT is very
important especially now that there‟s a tight competition towards job seekers and the
high qualification of companies.

ON-THE-JOB TRAINING EXPERIENCES IN EARIST COUNSELING AND TESTING
SERVICES
As a BS Industrial Psychology student, the trainee decided to choose the
Counseling and Testing Services in which will be able to gain knowledge for her future
career.
March 2012, the trainee decided to pass her resume at Counseling and Testing
Services department of Eulogio “Amang “Rodriguez Institute of Science and
Technology (EARIST), hoping to be one of the trainees inside on that particular office.
The trainee waited for the schedule of interview.
First week of April 2012, OJT applicant was scheduled for an interview with Ms.
Georgia and she gave us a brief background of what is in the Counseling and Testing
office.
On April 10, 2012, it is the day of OJT orientation, our official time is 8:00am –
5:00pm. Every Wednesday and Friday, Counseling and Testing Services is responsible
to administer ECAT for the incoming freshman and as an OJT of their office, it is also
the trainees responsibility to assist the students.
Ms. Georgia, orient the trainees on what to do, what to say and how to be a
proctor. To be a proctor, you will gain a lot of respect from your examinees and it helps
the trainees to be more confident in speaking in front of many people.
Ms. Menguita, tells the trainees to be more attentive, detailed and especially
keeps the surroundings clean, because as a proctor you should secure the examinees
comfortable before taking the exam, and avoids the different barriers. Being a proctor is
not the only task of an intern during ECAT; we also checked their answer sheets using
the stencils. Every day we have an” officer of the day” who is in-charge of the stencils
and other materials to be use in checking. Even though sometimes were getting hard of
checking answer sheets, we make sure to always smile and make some jokes just to
ease the tiredness that everyone feels. We don‟t just gained knowledge, but we also
gained friendship.
14. 14
The trainee learned how to assist client and give what they need. Every client
needs to follow some steps given by the supervisor. First you have to interview the
client to address his/her needs. Ask his/her name, course and section. Second, you
have to check if he/she has a record on file. If none, the chief or office staff can sign
his/her document. After that you can proceed to log his/her information in the logbook.
The trainees gain a lot of knowledge for being a part of the Counseling and
Testing Services. She learned to be more professional and disciplined.
15. 15
EVALUATION
Being an intern in EARIST Counseling and Testing Services was overwhelming.
The trainee can say that she‟s happy and fulfilled, being a part of Counseling and
Testing Services, the trainee could probably say that she really learned a lot of things.
From the moment she set her feet on that place, she know that she will be facing
different challenges on being a part of that office but at the same time she know that
she will learn new things regarding the possible work that she will be doing in the
company.
The trainee enjoyed doing such work like administering exams, checking, tallying
of results and assisting of clients, even though sometimes it makes her and her co-OJT
feel pressured and exhausted after a whole day work, it makes them really happy and
proud whenever they see that their tasks are fulfilled. Having to do OJT with friends
made it a whole lot easier for her.

INSIGHT GAINED
For almost two months of staying in Counseling and Testing Services the trainee
was nervous but as the day passed by, she realized that staying in the office was so
exciting and challenging. She gained knowledge on hands-on work and she considered
it as her achievement in life. The training made her to be a better person through the
challenges, adjustments and difficulties that she faced and encountered during the
whole training. Everything happens and whatever actions done, she must be
responsible for it. She has to be more reliable and careful for what she‟s doing and
saying. What they are doing inside the office of Counseling and testing Services are all
confidential. She had learned that the secret of success of trainee are simplicity,
initiative and perseverance, a little sense of humor, humility and work ethics.
