Question for Electrical Engineer or student?

Are you taught job skills required to work for a company? or are you trained to specifically do a job like they trust your knowledge and teach you specifics?

Answer:

They generally don't teach you. They give you a job to do and you do it till you get it right. If you need info you research it or get assistance from other departments. You may go outside to another company for training on some specific issue or tool, instrument, skill etc. You will learn how to learn. They know you aren't an expert yet but one skill is rapid learning. The faster you pick up skills the more you will be paid. The outside learning should be paid for by the company. a second skill is negotiating with your boss to obtain the training. Be an avid reader of trade magazines to pick up secrets, info etc. Never stop learning.
Simply put: You are expected to know all the ways the job can be done. They will tell you which way they want it done.
