But, in medium sized organisation you may find different types of work during the training.
Actually no format is there because commercial activities are very large.
If the organisation is engaged in service sector; you will have an indepth knowledge about a particular area of service in which is organisation is engaged.
In very big organisation; it might also be possible that you have very limited interaction with other people due to overload work.

Size of the unit in terms of :
1. Capital
2. Turnover,
3. Employees,
4. Profitability,

etc. etc..
(all these terms you learn very well during your studies; now apply them for yourself : for betterment of training).
