puestos de trabajo

English translation: on-the-job training

Spanish term or phrase: puestos de trabajo
I don't understand that phrase in this context (an ILO report on youth employment policy in Argentina):

En relación con las prestaciones, las acciones generalmente incluyen una ayuda económica y la posibilidad de realizar prácticas laborales y participar en acciones de formación (a través de cursos o en puestos de trabajo).

In terms of the services, the actions generally include economic support and the possibility of participating in hands-on training and other training activities (courses and...)

job roles


Explanation:
through courses or in job roles

Also, we don't really say "economic support" for individuals - I'd go for financial support.
