Experiential learning is learning by doing.

When learning is experiential, it results in better performance because it increases the odds that training will transfer from the learning environment to the workplace, where participants can apply what they have learned in a way that improves their job performance. Practice during training leads to application of those skills on the job because it gives learners the self-confidence to use and refine a skill in the real world. They've been there. They've done it. They know they can do it again.
