2. Internship Training: Under this method an educational institute

enters into agreement with industrial enterprises for providing
practical knowledge to its students by sending them to business

organizations for gaining practical experience.

3. Induction training: Induction training is a type of training given to

help a new employee in settling down quickly into the job by
becoming familiar with the people, the surroundings, the job and

the business. The duration of such type of training may be from a
few hours to a few days. The induction provides a good

opportunity to socialize and brief the newcomer with the
company’s overall strategy, performance standards etc. If

carefully done, it saves time and cost (in terms of effectiveness or
efficiency etc.)

(B) Off-the-job training: Off-the job training means training the
employees by taking them away from their work position

which means employees are given a break from the job and
sent for training. This method of training is more suitable for

managerial job positions as conferences, seminars are held to
train the managers.

Training is concerned with imparting technical knowledge in doing a
particular job. But development is a wider process concerned with

growth of an individual in all respects. However, both are related
processes; training helps the employees in learning job skills whereas

development shapes attitude of the employees.
