Zentra Logistics introduces a new warehouse management system. Employees have no prior experience, and the HR director wants staff to practise the actual tasks on the live system under supervision of a skilled colleague, at their normal workplace. Which training approach is being described?

The approach is on-the-job training, because employees learn the actual tasks on the live system, at their usual workplace, under the supervision of an experienced colleague, rather than in a classroom or simulated environment away from work.

Explanation

Learning the real tasks at the normal workplace under a skilled colleague is on-the-job training. Classroom, distance and simulated role-play all take place away from the actual job setting or live system.
