Off-the-job training goes through the following drawbacks:
1. Outside The Work Station
Off-the-job training program takes place outside the work station, so that it may not yield the desired result to employees as they are unknown with actual machines and equipments.
2. Not Effective
Off-the-job training will not be effective as the employees are trained in an artificial classroom. They are unfamiliar with actual work environment. As a result of which, it requires long time for them to learn.
3. No Production
During training period, no production takes place because employees are kept away fro the actual work place. The organization bears only training cost without any physical output.
4. Expensive
Off-the-job training is expensive in the sense that the organization has to prepare extra place for training outside the actual work environment.
5. Lack Of Feedback
The employees are trained away from the organizational work environment; hence, it lacks feedback to employees.
