Why is planning necessary?

The aim of on-the-job learning is always to learn new things or deepen one’s knowledge. Well-planned learning produces strong competence. It is worth investing in the planning of on-the-job learning.

Vocational studies are planned in close collaboration with workplaces. When the opportunities, needs and schedules of the workplace are taken into account, the workplace will see a return on the time and tutoring invested in the on-the-job learning periods.

Planning is done in collaboration. It is the workplace tutor’s responsibility to plan tutoring from the point of view of the operations and processes of the workplace. The pedagogical skills of teachers, on the other hand, can be used in questions relating to the learning process and assessment.
