The difference between learning on the job published
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes172 views
The document compares learning at school versus learning on the job. At school, learning is more passive where students focus on getting as many certificates as possible. At work, learning is more proactive where employers value quality of work over certificates. While laziness at school may lead to bad grades, laziness at work can result in termination. Additionally, school trains students to follow instructions, whereas work requires leading and out-of-the-box thinking to solve problems. The document concludes that universities do not fully prepare students for the workforce and that individuals need to take their own initiative to learn skills required for their jobs.

- #4: YOU study the right subjects, take the tests, sometimes cheatYou listen to the teachers and get to the right answers by studying the material and practicing. There is also a right answer, like in math problems, you just follow the formulaLearning IS LISTENING, not doing. Enjoy being silly and in the company from friends.Want to be a grown up and gain freedom.Follow others during 12 grade examFeeling like you burst out of a shelf and excitement You feel like you can move a mountain. Nothing is impossible.

(Different group of people and ideas)You are challenged a little bit more, but not enoughYou may try to get as many certificates as possibleYou may try to get as many diplomas as possible, even 2 Masters degrees and most Cambodian university will not fail you, even if you are not a good student because they want your fees THIS PERIOD OF YOUR LIFE MAY BE ABOUT CRAMMING AS MUCH INFORMATION/KNOWLEDGE INTO YOUR HEAD AS POSSIBLE
- #6: The more you get involvedthe better experience you get and the more you learn : YOU NEED TO BE ACTIVE Work hard for better promotions, if you are lazy, you may lose your jobs, you can stay in school if you pay and are lazy, but not at a jobYou can come to a job with lots of certificates but you need to prove that you can do the workYou will face challenges that have no clear solution and your employer will expect to you to figure your way out: for example in IT, I expect my staff to figure out problems before asking me every time; I expect them to THINK FOR THEMSELVESMake mistakes No ones perfect
