Introduction to Work-

Based Training

Work-based training is a crucial component of professional development for

individuals seeking to enhance their practical skills and gain real-world
experience. It involves learning through actively performing tasks and duties in a
specific workplace environment. This type of training goes beyond traditional
classroom instruction and provides hands-on, practical experience, enabling
participants to develop essential skills required in their chosen fields. Work-based
training is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and
practical application, ultimately preparing individuals for their future careers.
