Abstract
With changes in world and national economies and the continuing trend over the last 20 years towards industrial automation, the nature of the workforce required has changed. Take the current industrial pattern of automation as an example. The demand for production operators drops while the demand for maintenance and repair workers increases. Unfortunately, however, most of the industrial workforce lacks the skills required to become effective members of this new workforce. This means that the changes in manufacturing processes and technologies must take place more slowly than would be the case if a ready supply of the right kind of labour existed. Not surprisingly, this means that we need to place emphasis on the training and development of workers to give them the appropriate knowledge and skills.
