Guidelines For ITE CERTIFIED ON-THE-JOB TRAINING CENTRE (COJTC) Recognition Scheme
Guidelines for COJTC
Overview
ITE's Certified On-the-Job Training Centre (COJTC) Recognition scheme aims to acknowledge and recognise organisations that demonstrate excellence in workplace learning and provide quality structured in-house On-the-Job Training (OJT) for their employees.
To be eligible, organisations must either be current partners or have previous involvement in ITE’s workplace learning programmes, such as:
o Work-Study Diploma
o Student internships
o Workplace Training Center
o Other ITE workplace learning programmes (where deemed applicable)
The COJTC recognition framework features two distinct tiers:
o COJTC Advocate
o COJTC Champion
Organisations are evaluated based on three key criteria
o Strategy - A comprehensive framework for skills development
o People - Qualified personnel and trainers to manage the OJT system
o Planning - Structured approach to develop job blueprints and training implementation
Upon meeting criteria for either the Advocate or Champion tier, organisations will receive a one-time COJTC Advocate or Champion certificate from ITE. This certification acknowledges their commitment to maintaining high standards in workplace training and development. As and when, ITE may request organisations to furnish training records to ensure the quality of their OJT system is maintained.
This recognition serves as a mark of distinction, highlighting organisations that have successfully implemented robust workplace learning and OJT system and demonstrated dedication to nurture their employees.
