Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario best illustrates vestibule training, also known as simulated training or near-the-job training. The new chemist is given rejected samples to work with, which simulate real-world conditions, but with less expensive and critical ingredients. This type of training is cost-efficient and reduces the risk of errors or accidents during actual manufacturing. Refresher training is provided to employees who already have experience and need to update their skills or knowledge. Sensitivity training aims to develop interpersonal skills and increase empathy among employees. On-the-job training involves learning and working while performing actual tasks.
