A part‐time day release course lor industrial instructors

Abstract

This is boom time for industrial instructors. The various recommendations now coming from the industrial training boards are all calling for instructors. Formal training off‐the‐job and planned experience on‐the‐job, will only be successful if sufficient instructors are forthcoming. Generous grants are available from the training boards and all that remains is for the necessary instructor training to take place. The traditional two‐week courses at Hillingdon and Letchworth are over subscribed and it is natural therefore that many technical colleges should be looking at this problem. Some training boards such as the Wool, Jute and Flax ITB have already given a mandate to several technical colleges to act on their behalf and take over the running of instructor courses. Where the industry is more diversified however, the problems become more complex.
