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, equipments and documents. In effect, the workplace becomes a development venue for a student trainee to learn more about his chosen field and practice what he has learn from academy. On the other hand, an effective OJT program also benefits the companies who accept trainees. First OJT or intern provides additional manpower for a lesser labor cost than a regular employee. Most of them are all eager to learn the ropes so chances are high that they will cooperate. Employers can use this internship strategy as a method in recruiting new employees. Since the trainer or the supervisor can follow the trainees progress, he can gauge based on performance, behavior and attitude if the trainee will make a good recruit after the completion of his internship. OJTs can bring fresh ideas into the organization. Given the opportunity to speak their minds freely and without fear, they maybe able to contribute significantly in brainstorming sessions or research and eventually help improve the organizations productivity. While training the interns, employers are in fact also teaching their employees to process of guiding the trainees stretches their patience, develops teaching skills and makes them more sensitive to the needs and mind set of the younger generation. The course of supervision also teaches them how to share what they know and be receptive to questions. Hence, the internship also becomes an avenue in training for future managers of the company. Accommodating on-the-job trainees can truly be beneficial not only to the trainees but also to the companies that provide opportunities for this type of learning. There is wisdom in the front lines. Such training can be an investment that will be valuable to the company later on. This is also why trainees should take their internship seriously as it can become a powerful tool and possibly even a source of recommendation when they take that big lift from being students to career professionals.

UNIVERSITY OF RIZAL SYSTEM The University of Rizal System (U.R.S. or URS) is a system of colleges located in the Rizal province, Philippines. It operates multiple campuses, with the main campus being in Tanay, Rizal.

It is committed to produce graduates in agriculture, engineering, science and technology, culture and arts, teacher and business education through instruction, research, extension and production services in Region IV. The university has expanded from its Main campus in Tanay, Rizal to offer programs to students in the campuses: Antipolo, Angono, Binangonan, Cainta, Cardona, Morong, Pililla, Rodriguez, and Taytay. URS VISION The University of Rizal System as the premier State University in Region IV by the Year 2007. URS MISSION To address the need for the quality higher and advanced education in the Province of Rizal by offering professional and technical instruction and training in arts, sciences and technology and by promoting research, extension and production services. CIVIL ENGINEERING is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like bridges, roads, canals, dams, and buildings. Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it was defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering. It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, municipal or urban engineering, water resources engineering, materials engineering, coastal engineering, surveying, and construction engineering. Civil engineering takes place on all levels: in the public sector from municipal through to national governments, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies.

Primary

LRM Construction Company contracts with the fields of architecture and civil engineering, construction is a process that consists of the building or assembling of infrastructure. Far from being a single activity, large scale construction is a feat of human multitasking. The job is managed by a project manager, and supervised by a construction manager, design engineer, quality engineer or project engineer. LRM Construction has already accomplished many projects in terms of vertical and horizontal structures. They have been a contractor of Makati Development center for many years. One their project is the ????? As of now their focus is all the horizontal structure which is water service connection from Manila Water and land developing that was given to them by MDC. EQUIPMENTS Most of their equipments are from San Juan Quezon, City. There are three classifications for equipments they are Metershop, Central and Stockyard. Metershop is for water meter, valve, strainer, bolts and nuts. Central is for Tee, nipple, end cap, SCA, UCA Tapping tee, etc. And the Stockyard is for huge materials. PEOPLE The abundant human resource in the Philippines, especially competent engineers and naval graduates, enable the LRM construction to provide reliable and highly competitive services to owners. The Company has a SERVICES AND EXPERIENCE

CHAPTER 3 ON THE JOB TRAINING This chapter narrates the activities that I had gone through during the training. This also includes the observation, participation, interaction and challenges during their training. This discusses its place as a development tool and how it was delivered effectively by the company. On the job training is an important way in which students acquire relevant knowledge and skills at work NARRATIVE EXPERIENCE Our OJT at LRM Construction makes us learn many things about our career. As we specialize in the Horizontal structure which is pipe laying also known as New Water Service Connection. I, Bryan Alexis Pasay, and Rose Angelica Acero was assigned in Pasig where we need to do the Billing process and to demand payment of almost half a million pesos in Manila Water Company, Inc. Manila Water company, Inc is a public utility company in the Philippines. Manila Water, as it is more commonly known, is the East Concessionaire of MWSS (Metropolitan Water Works and Sewerage System) during its privatization on August 1, 1997, with its counterpart Maynilad Water Services, Inc. as the West Concessionaire. Manila Water is a subsidiary of Philippine conglomerate Ayala Corporation. The first thing we learned is the familiarization of the equipments. The materials are use for pipelaying and water connection. This project is a closing one thats why we start preparing the required papers which are SUMMARY OF WORK ACCOMPLISHED, (METERING: NEW WATER SERVICE CONNECTION) JOB ORDER/ ACCOMPLISHED REPORT, MATERIALS UTILIZATION REPORT & GOOD ISSUE SLIP for perusal. It was April 15, 2011 when we first went at the Pasig Business Area located at Sta. Rosa Pasig. We met Manila Water officials that we need to work with in order to accomplish the billing. The Billing process has a routine path. First, it is check by Sir Pol Niog, The Zone Manager, if the contractor measurement is match in the field. Then, forward to maam Liza and maam Beth for Clarification and updates. Then to Maam Norma, the auditor, to clarify issues. And back to Sir Niog for his verification and signature. Then forward to Sir Jerry Segurola and Sir Marvin Panday for approval of the request of payment. If its already approved by Sir Panday and has a voucher then we can forward to the main office at Balara San Juan, Quezon City. We also work for the 10 % retention billing under the said DMZ. It requires the billing number, document number, period covered, gross amount, and net amount. Retention is 10 % of the net amount. The Routine is first at Maam Liza, then forward to Sir Segurola and Sir Panday for approval. Then Forward to the Main Office.

We look after the remaining balance and still need to be returned at the Main office so we inventory the materials of P-14, P-15, P-25 and P-28. And as we see there are many missing materials and that makes it worst. OBSERVATION We observed for almost 2 months the daily activities and practices that the workers inside the company performed, as well as rules and regulation that all workers and employees must comply with. We, as trainees are introduced as Civil Engineer. We need to deal with that in order to make the workers or people around us to believe in our explanations and directions. At the office of Pasig Business Area we observed that all workers inside the working zone must wear their proper uniform during working hours. Even the sweeper or janitor who cleans the yard must wear complete uniform. Another thing that the trainee observed was the rules and regulation that the LRM Company initiated. We learned to wear safety shoes, hard hat and uniform for safety reasons. Even in withdrawing materials we still need to wear that because the San Juan management mandates so. PARTICIPATION We participated in the normal operation of the company by continuing the billing process in Pasig and making inventory for the materials to be returned. We also do the daily check of the billing for us to know the updates and improvement. Errors must be predict and must be solved before it happened. Any missing details and papers may cause a long time clarification or cancelation of the payment. INTERACTION During the training at LRM Construction, I learned to interact with other people. I know that people have different characteristics and attitudes; however, making friends with the trainees co -workers doesnt make difficult. Even though I was only a trainee, they dont treat me like others. And as a trainee, I dont feel uncomfortable as I worked with them. From the interaction I made with them, the later learned to work with patience. Although thoroughly working on something was time consuming, the quality of the output product is the most important. I also learned from all co-workers experiences and mistakes and apply them whenever I needed it. The LRM officials also encouraged me to go on with my studies until I become a professional. Although I worked and interact with them for a short period of time, I learned a lot to them; the skills and techniques that they shared with me that cannot be find on the books. PROBLEM SET AND SOLUTION OFFERED The problem we encountered during our training are related to the Billing process; o The billings are being stocked with Sir Pol Niog, the Bussiness Zone Manager, for a long time.

o o o o o o o

Sir Pol change the estimated amount to paid to contractor due to the error of pricing of groupings for Tapping Tee. He said that The price of the Tapping Tee must not be separated. It should be added as one of the group. So we just follow his given price. That there are many missing attachments in the billing, so we do check the papers and make correction. And after that we forward it to maam Liza and Maam Beth, Manila Water officials, for verification and clarification. P-28 Billing 4 is still missing and we need it to make MUR for Billing 4 & 5. There is no Job Order for P28 Billing 5 thats why it is being returned. The LRM Staff said that maybe it is in Billing 4 so we really need to find that. At the retention we encountered a missing document number so Maam Liza canceled it return the papers so we look for the document number and add at the second retention. Some of the remaining materials have been missing. Many Angle valve that cost over P100, 000 has been steal or lost. The verification and clarification process in Pasig is vastly slow and our OJT time is not enough to solicit all the payment.

CHAPTER 4 PERSONAL EVALUATION, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION At the end of the trainees OJT, I was able to learn the work of Civil Engineers. The training served as the stepping stone for us to see the real life of an engineer. It served as the beginning the real life of being an employee. I have realized that learning is a lifetime commitment that is continues even you already have a job. The training gave me more initiative to my chosen career. I was more encouraged to pursue the Civil Engineering course. The training inspired me to enhance my skills and knowledge in the field of Civil engineering. I was given some ideas what could be the feeling or situation being an employee. The training enriched my individuality as a beginner and created the foundation of being a good worker. The best thing that I have gained inside the company was the good orientation of the person having the higher positions. As a Civil engineering student, the OJT made me realize the importance of the course that I am taking. It made me realize the essential role of a civil engineer in a company. To be a competent one, not only an engineer must understand the process and the underlying principles but also be knowledgeable of the operation of certain equipments that carry out the process. An engineer must also possess good communication and leadership skill. CONCLUSION I therefore conclude that in construction career theres a lot of problem. But still there are still many options to make up with the errors. I conclude that in doing a project the closing is the hardest because it has many requirements for verification and clarifications. In fact our billing still ongoing and were not sure if we can finished that before we end our OJT time. There are a lot of questions and clarification and we conclude that we really know everything about the Pasig project so that we can answer all the questions of Manila Water Officials. I also conclude that even a simple problem may cause a big one, like what happen in the missing angle valve. The delay of the payment is cause by those missing materials. If only the materials are complete the billing process will be faster.

RECOMMENDATION The company created a good service to their clients and gave the best training for the students. The students must have a good company that would give them a good training ground and would enhance their knowledge and capabilities. The school must have the good coordination for some companies that offer an annual On the Job Training inside their company. The school should provide more budgets given to the OJT coordinators to have the best monitoring of the training the students are taking. One of the best ways of training is the provincial trainings that would give different experiences to the trainees. An out of town training would give more self esteem to the students. The Civil engineering students have their training during summer period of 4th year. For the company, they should give more lectures on the technical parts of the company like Auto Cad and Mechanical Devices used by the Department.
