The Training of Shipyard Workers: Report on the Work of the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation, Industrial Relations Division, Education and Training Section (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Training of Shipyard Workers: Report on the Work of the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation, Industrial Relations Division, Education and Training Section

Dear Sir:

Plans were made for closing the work of the Education and Training Section while Dr. L. C. Marshall was Manager of the Industrial Relations Division. It was agreed by Dr. Marshall that inasmuch as the Emergency Fleet Corporation had expended considerable money in conducting shipyard training, and that this furnished probably the first opportunity for investigating the efficiency and results of training as conducted on a large scale, it was due the country that a careful study be made of the cost and effectiveness of the training as conducted, and that the results of this study be published.

It was considered that a study of these results would be of value, not only to the shipbuilding industry, but also to other lines of industry as well, in pointing out conditions under which effective training can be conducted, and the relation between costs and training results.

The report transmitted herewith presents the findings of the Education and Training Staff.
