On-the-job training (OJT) is one of the best training methods because it is planned, organized, and conducted at the employee's worksite. OJT will generally help the students to increase their productivity and skills. It also help the students to become a young professional. This is one method by which students is given a chance to apply the theories and computations that they have learned from the school. It also helps the students to acquire relevant knowledge and skills by performing in actual work setting. Colleges and universities require their students to undergo such training within a specific number of hours as part of the curriculum. December 10, 2012 when I started my OJT and it’s been more than 500 hours I spend inside the On the Job Training in the Nasugbu Municipal Hall, specifically in Fire Department. I always came to office at around 7:30 am. Yes, 30 minutes earlier than the usual office time. I logged in early and cleaned the office for not more than 15 minutes every day. I organized and sorted out their files, photocopy and printed out important documents, download attachments from email, and send reports and different attachments to the higher office thru email. I also recorded business, electrical, occupancy permits for the clients, encode multiple files, provide order of payment, and assists the Fire Code Fee Assessor. I really enjoyed my on-the-job training at the Fire Department. I learned the basic office works, the operation of common office equipment and facilities, the standard office rules and procedures and most of all the pleasant officers-employees relationships. Even if it’s not related in my course, I really appreciated the effort that they accepted me and considered me as their co- employee. There are lots of things that I can say that I’ll never forget, from the day I walk in the Fire Department to the time I walked out of the building. I met people who I enjoyed being with through their jokes, trips and even their smiles. What I learned in my workplace is being hard working, even though it’s tiring. And keeping a smile on your face brings you warm-heart welcome as they smile back. All the good experiences, knowledge, skills and camaraderie’s I acquired during my OJT at Nasugbu Municipal Fire Department will be most cherished. I would like to extend my utmost gratitude to the people who played important role in the completion of my training. For the warm welcome, with due respect, I am appreciative to Sr. Insp. Marilyn C Calapati. Thank you for your accommodation. I am very much grateful to FO1 Ana Marie Alix, the Fire Code Fee Assessor and also my sister who always there for me and always guiding me, FO2 Nomie Arellano, FO3 Zenon Bacit, FO1 Albert Bentir, FO1 Roberto Borja, FO2 Geronimo Dimailig, FO1 Enrico Lapitan, FO1 Rhesty Lingao, FO3 Jose Jovener Perez, and FO3 Romeo Ramos for the patience in guiding and teaching me.
