Experiences of Participants in on-the-Job Trainings in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County

Abstract One of the most important fringe benefits for employers is education. Employees who have been trained are more attached to the company and their esteem increases. The survey interviewed 371 employees of enterprises participating in the GINOP (Economic Development and Innovation Operational Programme of Hungary) 6.1.5-17 “Support for on-the-job training for large enterprises” and GINOP-6.1.6-17 “Support for on-the-job training for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises”. The interviewees had different positions and educational qualifications. It could be shown that those who had been trained were able to use the new skills, some of them leading to an increase in income. The biggest risk of on-the-job training is that the workforce trained by the company is seduced by a competing company, resulting in a huge loss for the company.
