An adaption of the group training concept for commercial and clerical workers

Abstract

Group training for clerical workers the concept in practice The Upper Thames Area Committee of BACIE set up a working party on clerical training in the summer of 1967 to examine the provisions made for the training of clerical staff within the industrial, commercial and public service organisations in the Upper Thames Area, and to make suggestions and recommendations on clerical training to BACIE and other interested bodies. The working party members were training officers from 16 industrial, commercial and research institutions, and representatives of the six local colleges. Later a training officer from BACIE and a training officer from the EITB joined the working party. First a questionnaire was sent out to 172 organisations in the area asking for information about commercial and clerical training provided during the academic year 1966–67. From the 80 replies received a detailed analysis of commercial and clerical training in the area was prepared and published.
