in-service training
On-the-job education
In-service training is professional development that employees receive while on the job, rather than before starting work.
It updates skills, introduces new procedures, or maintains certifications: Teachers attend in-service training days throughout the school year.
The term appears most often in education, healthcare, and government contexts.
