A. Introduction

“What I hear, I conceptualize. What I read, I understand. But what I

do, becomes part of who I am.”

- Anonymous

Learning must not just only be being passive and theoretical, it

should be relevant and applied. The best way to learn how to do

something is to do it and actively engaged in the learning process.

Nothing beats experience as the perfect learning tool but true

learning will be evident when experience produces an action. All of

these things are important to prepare an individual in his chosen

field and to give a glimpse of what lies ahead in the future.

On-the-job training (OJT) is training that is delivered while an

individual is performing tasks or processes related to their

particular occupation. The employee typically performs tasks that are

essential to their job function with the supervision of a manager,

coach or mentor. This type of training is typically used to broaden an

employee’s skill set and to increase productivity. (Training

Industry ,2018).

The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) degree

program of Lyceum NorthWestern University has included On-the-job

training course known as Civil Engineering Apprenticeship (ENGG-

CE_OJT). This course aims to give an individual a view of reality and

serves as a career-wise technique that will help aspiring civil

engineers who are soon to enter the professional world of engineering

to be more competitive in achieving certain goals in life. It requires

the students to undertake two hundred forty hours of training in their

chosen company/institutions which exposed the students in a real

situation of engineering works.

Apprenticeship also gives the opportunity to develop the sense of

professionalism, love of work, and commitment to the people they

serve. Moreover, it enhances the ability to interact in a wider

community through mutual relationship between the employees and

trainees that will be useful to the development of the organization

providing additional manpower for a lesser labor cost than a regular

employee.

Surpassing all the challenges and problems that might be

encountered during the training, OJT establishes a commendable quality

of resiliency and not to be afraid to make mistakes and start over

again with lessons learned. Lastly, through nice performance during

the training, which the apprentices can use as an advantage since

today there is a tight competition towards job seekers due to high

qualification of companies/firms.

Importance of Civil Engineering Apprenticeship

Civil engineering apprenticeship entails significant benefits

that could give apprentices helpful assets for achieving gainful

ideas. The training provides the students/apprentices the opportunity

to acquire sufficient knowledge and skills relevant to work habits.

Field practice has been designed to give student-trainees a place

which will strengthen their capability in preparation for their

profession to develop their physical, emotional, and social well-being

needed especially when encountering real problem in working

environment. It also gives the trainees the chance to personally

interact with the environment directly, engage in the activities at

the site, work with the processes to be learned, and observe the

actual work that each task can provide. All of these promote a deeper

understanding of the subject being studied and an improved ability to

recall the information and experiences, later, as needed.

Week 1
“For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn

by doing them.”

- Aristotle

Day 1 (June 24, 2024)

On the first day the weather was sunny. Architect

Danlee Solano oriented me about the projects they’re currently
handling and the safety rules and regulations. I was also
introduced to the employees and also I was invited to make a site
visit in a construction of a Two-Storey Residential building at
Lucao, Dagupan City, Pangasinan. I encountered there different
actual works like Plastering (see figure 1) and installation of
steel bar for flooring (see figure 2). I also got to familiarize
the tools and the machineries used in construction. These
experience made me excited for more days ahead.

 Figure 2: Installation of Steel bar
for Flooring

Day 2 (June 25, 2024)

I arrived in the same site to make site visitation

again because I was assigned in the construction team. I inquire

some questions to Architect Solano who responded to all of my

questions. In there I witnessed just the continuation of

yesterday's activity like the plastering (see Figure 3) and other

new activities like installation of wires for electricity (see

Figure 4)
 Figure 3: Plastering

Figure 4: Installation of Wires for

Electricity
Day 3 (June 26, 2024)

I arrived at the same site at 7am so that I can check

the arrival delivery of the materials to be used in the

construction that day like the cement and plywood (see Figure 5)

After that, I went to another construction site at Caranglaan to

have a site visitation and also the foreman task me to go with

some other employees to drop some used woods and stones for

piling at the site (see figure 6).

and stones for piling

 Day 4 (June 27, 2024)

On the fourth day I was task to do an estimation and

Architect Solano brielfy taught me and explain to me the design

and structural of the new project at Caranglaan (see fugure 7).

There's a lot more office works was task to me so it was a tardy

and stressful but enjoyable day.

Figure 7: explaining about the structural design

 Day 5 (June 28, 2024)

On the fifth day I went back to the site at Lucao and

there I witness the excavation of soil (see figure 8) and the

laying of CHB for footing (see figure 9). And the continuations

of the works like plastering.

Figure 8: Manual excavation of soil

Figure 9: Laying of CHB for footing

Day 6 (June 29, 2024)
It was Saturday and I arrived at the site where the
workers are in a very good mood because I learned that every
Saturday is their pay day. Everyone is enthusiastically working
(see figure 10) and also I witnessed the installation of metal
furring for ceiling. (see figure 11)

Week 2

Day 7 (July 1, 2024)

It was 8am in the morning and I went straight to

Caranglaan site to witness how the Foreman and other mason lay
out the area (see Figure 1 & Figure 2) after the initial lay out,
the workers went straight to manual digging of soil (see Figure
3) but Architect Solano noticed that they are digging the wrong
side of the area, he told me that the workers should start
digging at the back rather than the side so that the loader can
easily pass the area for filling so the workers continued the
manual digging at the back (see Figure 4).

Day 8 (July 2, 2024)

I arrived in the same site at Caranglaan for another

site visitation as I was assigned to the construction team that

day. The foreman taught me how to lay out for the column of the

fence (see Figure 5) I also inquire some questions to the foreman

such as the area of the post and number of post that is needed

for the fence which he answered right away. I also helped the

workers in constructing the columns (see Figure 6) there is also

a problem encountered at the site specifically in the manual

excavation of soil, because of the water, the workers are slowed

down and is having a hard time digging (see figure 7)

Day 9 (July 3, 2024)

I arrived earlier at the same site at 7:30am for

another site visitation and there I instructed the workers to do

continue the manual digging of soil (see Figure 8) but I told the

engineer that we need water pump to extract water so that the

workers can easily dig. I also received the delivery for the

metal bars that we will be needing for the construction of metal

bars for columns (see Figure 9).

Figure 8: Manual excavation of soil

additional metal bars

 Day 10 (July 4, 2024)

As soon as I arrived at the site in Caranglaan, we

conducted a tool box meeting. The engineer task me to explain to

the workers the load of their works for the day (see figure 10) I

also assign some of them to focus on the water pump for

extracting the water in the area (see Figure 11) so that they can

easily dig soil. As soon as we extract the water, the workers

easily dig the soil and we start the erection of column

reinforcement for the post (see Figure 12 & 13)

 Day 11 (July 5, 2024)

On Day 11 as a trainee, I went to two sites so it was a

very productive day for me. I went first to Caranglaan site to

check the continuation of Column Reinforcement erection and there

I witness that the water is back again because of the rain (see

Figure 14) after I instructed them to use the water pump, I went

to Lucao site to check the continuation of constructing the

septic tank and ceiling (see Figure 15). Architect Solano also

task me to do estimation while we are at the site (see Figure

16). After estimating, I went with Architect Solano to check some

materials and run some errands (see Figure 17).

Day 12 (July 6, 2024)

It was Saturday again and I went to Lucao site this
day for site visitation. There I witness the construction of
dirty kitchen outside (see Figure 18) and I was tasked to do some
estimation for the tiles that day, as I was busy with paperworks,
the workers at the site started to construct the area for the
kitchen sink (see Figure 19).

Week 3
Day 13 (July 8, 2024)

I went to Lucao to make a site visit and monitor the

construction of our two-storey residential building, there I saw
the continuation of ceiling installation at second floor (see
Figure 1) I also saw the construction of the sink in the kitchen
area (see Figure 2) there’s not much thing to do at that day
because of the continuation of the works for last week.

Day 14 (July 9, 2024)

On Tuesday I arrived at different at the same site at

Lucao for another site visitation as I was assigned to the

monitor tiles installation. I monitor how the mason’s lay out for
the tiles (see Figure 3) I saw the installation lightning at

bedrooms because the electricians came that day (see figure 4)

but I was not really focused at it because I was assigned at

tiles installation.

Day 15 (July 10, 2024)

On Wednesday, I’m still at the same site, I arrived

early and took a picture of the project (see Figure 5) I think it

was 70% done. I continued monitoring the tiles installation,

because the tiles delivery arrived, the workers started to

install (see Figure 6). There was a problem encountered because

of the broken tiles (see Figure 7) the wrokers are having a hard
time installing th etiles so the foreman instructed that they

should change to dry pack.

 Day 16 (July 11, 2024)

I went to Caranglaan that day to monitor the site as

per requested by Engineer Cabrera because the workers will start

concreting the wall footings (see figure 8) there’s also a

problem encountered that day because of the water, but instead of

using the water pump, the foreman instructed the workers to just

use dry cements for the (see Figure 9) we also have a small feat

because we cook tinolang manok as a get together after a tiring

day (see Figure 10)

Day 17 (July 12, 2024)

On Day 19 as a trainee, I went to Caranglaan site to

monitor the Masonry for CHB installing (see Figure 11) but before

that installing of CHB, the workers decided to use the water pump

again to make it easy for the workers to install CHB (see Figure

12).

 Figure 12: Water Pumping

Day 18 (July 13, 2024)

It was Saturday again and I went to the same site this

day. The installation of CHB at the back is 50% done (see Figure
13) and I also visited the project that EarthArt builders
finished project at Lucao. (See Figure 14). I went back the
construction site and there I witnessed the manual digging at the
left side for the wall fence (see Figure 15).

On my day 19 as a trainee, I was task to go the

Cranglaan site to monitor the workers and the construction. I
saw the workers manually clearing the left side (see Figure 1) so
they can start digging for the new post for the fence. On the
same day they the workers install the column and finish
concreting the footing at the left side (see Figure 2).

Day 21 (July 17, 2024)

On Wednesday, I went back to Caranglaan site, the

proposed bungalow residential house, we still have the same

problems encountered at the site which is the water (see Figure

5) but we used water pump so that the workers can start

installing CHB for each span. (see Figure workers alsostarted to

dismanlte the formworks used in concreting the posts at the back

side (see Figure 7)

Day 22 (July 18, 2024)

It’s Thursday and Architect Solano told me to go to the

proposed two-storey residential site at lucao to monitor the

clearing of the area and I decided to help the workers in

dismantling the lock of the scaffholdings (see figure 8) while

they’re busy cleaning the area (see Figure 9) the tile installing

at second floor is 100% done (see Figure 10)

Day 24 (July 20, 2024)

It was Saturday and my last day as a trainee. We

gathered for a small meal and and I thanked all of them for being
nice to me as I spend my OJT hours with them (see Figure 13)
after that, I went back to Caranglaan site with some of the
workers to continue working there. I tried helping them in beam
concreting. (See Figure 14). While the others continue their work
installing CHB for each span at the left side (see Figure 15).

Principal Architect
 XII. Learning

I learned that in the construction, manpower is really

important to make the work easily and fast. I also gain different
knowledge about the actual work at the construction site and also
the tools and machineries used. I still have a lot of knowledge
that I want to learn in construction in align with what I aim
for. I also learned how to do estimation, and also for the tiles.
It’s important to put rocks at the bottom of the metal bars for
columns so that the metal bars won’t be rusty in time for the
“buhos”

I learned CHB installing and also the concreting and

how it is done as I watch every step of it and in form works, the
workers usually just re-use the dismantled formworks from the dry
concreting to use it for the other columns, which means they do
not need to cut and form new ones specially the columns are on
the same area.

In my on-the-job training i learned the gap between

academic knowledge and real-world application. It also enhances
my technical skills in construction practices and material
testing while I’m fostering a deep understanding about the plans.

I gain insights into project management also in

maintaining project timelines. Problem solving also become my
second nature because I address specific challenges like
unexpected soil conditions and equipment failures. Communication
is also a skill that I learned through talking and listening to
my superiors as I comply with workplace regulations.
