CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

On the Job training or OJT 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.
For the students, an OJT or internship program provides opportunities to go through the
actual methodologies of a specific job using the real tools, equipment and documents. In effect,
the workplace becomes a development venue for a student trainee to learn more about his chosen
field and practices what he has learn from academy.
On the other hand, an effective OJT program also benefits the companieswho accept
trainees. First OJT or intern provides additional manpower for alesser labor cost than a regular
employee. Most of them are all eager to learn theropes so chances are high that they will
cooperate.
Employers can use this internship strategy as a method in recruiting newemployees.
Since the trainer or the supervisor can follow the trainees progress,he can gauge based on
performance, behavior and attitude if the trainee willmake a good recruit after the completion of
his internship.

OBJECTIVES:
The trainee makes considerations on the following objectives.
General

To gain an internship experience that will allow proficient growth and that will

provide valuable application and utilization of my skills for further advancement.

To grow competently by giving my skills to organization and vice versa.
To realize my potential and add to the development of organization with inspiring

performance

engineer so as to become more efficient and productive.

To further enhance the technical skills and knowledge on electronics engineering.

To apply the theories and experiments learned inside the institution.

To be exposed in a working environment.

SIGNIFICANCE

On-the-Job Training or OJT is job training that occurs in the work place. It has many
advantages, but it can also have a few disadvantages if the OJT is not planned and executed
properly. It is part of a college curriculum that aims to train and orient students about the work
and their future career. It is very important not only to teach students their chosen career but to
show students the reality about working.

What Have I Learned?

The on the job training conducted in 9TV located in Panay Ave., Quezon City is
successfully finished by the trainee. The trainee achieved its goal in conducting the
training program. After 2 months of On-the-job training at 9TV and Broadcasting
Network, I felt what the real world of ECE is. The trainee learned many things when it
comes to technical, planning and how attitude you can imply to others. At the end of the
training, the trainee was able to troubleshoot some minor problems in the equipments like
some power amplifier that are malfunction. The trainee also attended trainings and
demonstrations about proposed equipments and instruments for Transmitter area and has
learned also the parts of an outside broadcasting van. The oldest outside broadcasting van
is in the Panay branch from the RPN9 van. The trainee learned some experience that
some lectures in the school are applied in the on-the-job training. The trainee was able to
learn the significance of the different equipments used in 9TV BROADCASTING
NETWORK.
As an On-the-job trainee at 9TV, I learned several technical skills such as
monitoring transmitter, antenna polarization, propagating required frequency at
broadcasting network, repairing power supply, operating signing on/off and changing
fiber optic filter in transmitter. These skills are properly explained to the trainee. The
trainee also learned the proper maintenance for every ones a year in transmitter

equipments. Some of the technology that are used are very high-tech it was made from
other country like Spain and Italy.
One example is an antenna that is capable of transmitting digital signals more
effectively. This antenna has been tested in 9TV because as of now, the company is trying
to improve their technology and finding great ways to deliver information to their
audiences efficiently and effectively.
9TV has many equipments, machinery and testing apparatus. Some
equipments and apparatuses that I will introduce are the necessary equipments that are
used in the company. One of these is the GENSET. It is the primary equipment that is
needed to supply the power when the power interruption occurs. The use of these is like
that of generators that we used in our home but this equipment is big and it is noisier.

I had a great time and experience with the company personnel of 9TV. They are
friendly and approachable. They are selflessly shared their knowledge and time for me to
teach many things especially in the field even though there are many things to do.

Engr. John Archilles Denna, one of my supervisors, is very flexible he does most
of the office work and technical work in the company, he is kind and friendly, and he
teaches me about programming and repairing computers because he is a computer
technician. He also motivates me to push through with my course and to be an electronics
engineer. He also gives advices and tips about the real world for my future job. He is
really a good supervisor he treated me not as a trainee but as an employee who works
under him. I have learned a lot from him and those things will remain in me. I will apply
all of those and share it to others as well.
Engr. Gerald B. Cabrillos is also one of my supervisors and he is the one who is
always in the field. He is very kind and friendly. Very often, I am with him I learned
many things from him especially in technical things, installation and troubleshooting he
works slowly but surely he teaches me that, in work you must analyze it first before you
move.
Staying as a trainee in 9TV with its personnel is really fun and a good experience.
They treat me well and it is a privileged to work with them that makes my On-the-job
training fun and worthy.
For me, the first practices that need to apply is to become being punctual, from
the Filipinos line Daig ng maagap ang masipag. Make adjustments on your time, time
is gold. The others are being honest, respectful, humble and also committed to his/her
work.
As a trainee you should perform these practices to achieve what you want in your
life. As a future engineer, these attitudes show professionalisms; once you exemplify
these to others they will reward you. All of us will start from the bottom it depends on

you what techniques, skills, and attitudes youll show to them. But at the end, stay being
humble and dont forget to thank on God what has planned for you
Well disciplined person will never let down others; also they will help you in
times of need. Challenging obstacles in company is a part of the job. For me once you
have cooperation, your success will come to you. Dont be selfish many companies find
this kind of quality in the job.
I have seen some strong points that they have. All of them know what to do with
their respective position or job. They can give you some experiences that they have
encountered and some learning that they really treasure. They are very flexible; they can
be assigned in different fields. They are all positive thinkers and will not let you down. If
they see that you have nothing to do, they will make a way to not waste time. They will
teach you different things or they will say something that will motivate you.
During my stay in the 9TV broadcasting Company, I have observed that I have the
developed my confidence. I was able to cooperate well with my co-interns as well as to
the personnel assigned in the said company. My perseverance was also developed. I have
gained knowledge contributed by the experienced workers.
For the company, I have seen such main improvement regarding their instruments
and equipments used for better transmission and broadcasting. 9TV provides an excellent
treatment with their employees as well to their trainees, I can say for I have experienced
this. Many perks are given to those who are working in the company to maintain their
workers enthusiasm.
The company also has a weak point based on my observation. Some of their
employees lack respect to some of their new co-employees, they act like a boss to them
but at the end they treat them kind sometimes. My suggestion for some of their
supervisors is to monitor their workers in order for them to have coordination in their job.
Same weakness I have for myself is that sometimes I lack respect to my co-intern.

Sometimes joke go too far, without taking consideration what they may feel about it. But
I have already overcome it, we have talked about it and everything is settled.

RECOMMENDATION
9TV Broadcasting Network has valuable potentials as a training ground for trainees. It has
indeed offered trainees a wide variety of learning experiences and growth through different
engagements in on-site installation, repair and troubleshooting. Thus, my skills in these areas were
highly improved.
Facilities, equipment and machinery used in 9TV have a good ground for every trainee
who finds on-the-job-training for this course. They will give you hands-on skills with their
equipments; they also give lectures that you need in field. The facilities are fit to the KBP

requirements in building network operation. They also have new equipments from the other country
which are worth hundreds of thousand for acquiring high innovation for their company.
9TV Broadcasting Network has indeed of employees who were committed, professionals
and experienced in their own respective fields of specialization. Since I was assigned in the
engineering department of the company, I was placed in an environment where communication
skills must be evident to be able to get things done through. The employee has been very selfless
in sharing their expertise and experiences with us that enable me to learn and work hard at the
same time.
9TV personnel are all professional in terms of their work; they are very humble and
generous. They are not selfish since they shared and taught me all of the things that they knew in
their work. They also did not ask me to do things that they know that I didnt know. They taught me
first what to do, then let me do those things on my own. They are skilful and flexible in different
fields of their work. They are committed in their work and finished it correctly.
I recommend to the future On-the-job trainee to search a company that will suit their interests and
skills. I also suggest that if they take the on-the-job training in regular semester they need to finish
it early for them to focus on their other major subjects, it is hard to adjust the time when your
stamina is not ready for the other tasks that you need to do. And they should be ready at all times,
be resourceful, be faithful, be alert and be enthusiastic every day .
