Determining Training Requirements.

Abstract

With automation on the ascendancy, many of the simple but tedious jobs of the past are being converted to machine operation. Personnel must be retrained for different jobs requiring more complex skills to keep pace with our changing technology. No longer can training be looked upon either as 'terminal' or lacking in dignity. One of our national goals is that every citizen become employable and productive. Training has become a never ending requirement which will assume more and more importance as time passes. It is imperative, therefore, that training programs be designed for maximum effectiveness in terms of economy of operation and relevance to the operational requirement. The most logical approach to improving training appears to through the application of scientific principles which underlies any engineering process. (Author)
