Embarking on a comprehensive exploration, this study delves into the captivating realm of On-Job Training (OJT) and its profound impact on student learning within the context of the 6th cohort of the Diploma in Materials and Procurement Management program at Jigme Namgyel Engineering College in Dewathang. Although many claimed that such supervised training within a particular time frame (45 days) carried out either in the private sector or in government organizations provides skills, knowledge and experience, however, no prior study has been conducted by the college so far to assess its impacts. To assess the impact of On-Job Training (OJT) on the acquisition of practical skills, knowledge, and competencies among students in the 6th cohorts with a specific focus on their ability to apply theoretical concepts in real-world work environments is the main objective of the study. The purposive sampling method was used as the method of the research. This study used one set of questionnaires to discover supervisor’s perspectives of different organizations and student’s perspective. A total population size of 43 questionnaires (29 students and 14 workplace supervisors) were issued and all were returned. The data were analyzed using a Relative Index of Importance (RII) which provides a descriptive interpretation of the most important variables in this research. It was observed from the view of the organization that such training improved the student’s skills in formal and informal communication, help to find a research area for their projects, ability to socialize, and sustained the relationship. In the view of the students, It has been observed that the training improved the students’ confidence in tackling problems and provides the need for continuous learning. Also, observed that inadequate duration and insufficient stipend were the major concerns students expressed during their internship. It has been concluded that industrial experience gained from the OJT help to improve the student’s ability and knowledge gained which can provide the basis for a successful career after graduation from college. It was recommended that OJT should be seen as a tool to improve students’ abilities.
