LOndon.-NIore has been done in
Britain during this war 10 build UP Il
great reserve of trained and competent
| labOur than ever before. Th" attention
which the Ministry of Labour and Ma
| tiOnal Service has devoted to this
matter is not always fully appreciated
even by industry itself. Yet the rapid
training of large numbers of workers,
of whom Il great many have had no
previous experience of Industrial work
and conditions, is one of the most i'm
pOrtanl factors in the maintenance of
high prod uct / on. The Ministry $
schemes of training are in operation
both in industry and outside.
Outside industry, for example, the
Ministry of Labour in conjunction with
the Board of Education has organized
courses Of lectures on Production Plan
ming. These lectures are intended for
men and women engaged on planning
work i'm the plants. They are being
taken by large number of students
at various technical colleges through
out the country. Employers have been
invited to put forward suitable quail
fled men and women from among their
own employees, and the courses of in
struclion are adapted to tn" require
mentS of particular industries aS the
number of students and the cooperation
of employers may warrant.

| ton Planning are usually given in
evening sessions, covering ten or Il
dozen mceinS. The course Includes

conclusion of each course IN cNamina-
tion is held and each technical college

have attended the course and passed
that examination.
