Thanks. 'off the job training' means you are sent somewhere by the company to receive training or instruction. You are still employed by them.

In real life, 脱产培训 could mean both quitting your job and take a training or suspending your work duties and take a training.

I assume off the job training means a training you take not as part of your job. And a on job training is a training as part of your job.

But for 脱产培训, if you quit your job and take a training, it certainly is an off-the-job training. But not all off-the-job trainings are 脱产培训 since you can have a job at day and take some personal training at night which should still be counted as off-the-job training even you have a regular work duty.

On the other hand, if your normal duties are suspended and be provided a training opportunity by your company, the training still counts as 脱产培训 but not off-the-job training. Because the training is part of your job, it is on-job-training.

A bit confusing. To sum up, 脱产 concerns more about whether or not your are released from production, i.e your primary duty, not whether or not it is related to your job or organisation.
