Training That Deals With Men’s Attitudes
DAN BRAND, executive director of Learning Research and
Development Corp., makes a point while stressing the needs of self
respect to men undergoing a training program.
By CHRIS ECKL
Learning Research and
Development Corp. is trying a
new twist in training the
unemployed. It emphasizes men’s
attitudes and not just their
manual skills.
“The motivational material
used helps persons to get the
right answers the first time,” said
Dan Brand, executive director.
“It’s a great boost for anyone
defeated by the traditional
educational system.
“The men are shown they can
learn. They are shown—they show
themselves—they have talent and
the ability to succeed. And they
are succeeding,” he said..
How does the program work?
Nine men are presently
undergoing training for 2 weeks
at the small office at Georgia
Avenue and McDaniel Street on
how to become a more effective
person and employe.
“The length of the programs
can vary, and we can also train
persons Xo do a particular job,”
Brand added.
He pointed out that companies
interested in hiring the
unemployed and training them
can receive federal assistance.
“A company has to be
interested in its community to
help train the unemployed, but if
the men are motivated along with
their training, they will give the
company superior work.”

*0ruly as different as its name—delightfully different!
For those who like the unusual... delicious open-hearth
steaks, candle-lit intimacy, a “caged-in” piano bar and
atmosphere that just won’t quit — at unbelievably modest
prices ... the Squirrel Cage is the place!
They come to class a half-day
and work a half-day at Lamex
Plastics, which trains the men to
do a particular job. The training
is being done under a Department
of Labor contract.
“Plant owners have said the
big difference between these men
and others they have trained is
motivation,” Brand said. “Their
attitude, the confidence they
have in themselves, has increased
plant morale.
“These men appreciate then-
own value and their place in the
American dream. They look at
themselves as individuals and as
members of society,” Brand said.
The training emphasizes
reading, writing and arithmetic,
but comprehension and oral
communication are strongly
stressed.
In a recent class, Brand gave
an outline on listening. He said
thinking is the difference
between hearing and listening,
and anyone must think to do a
job properly.
“If you want to learn a job
and improve you have to think
about what a supervisor says,”
Brand told the group. “Don’t
cheat yourself by simply listening
to him and not really hearing
what he says.”
The lesson also stressed proper
expression and attitudes, the
necessity for self respect and
respect of fellow employes and
supervisors.
Though motiviation and
self-respect is emphasized
strongly, practical learning is not
overlooked in the training.
Brand said the company uses
the best educational material
available. “The idea for this type
of training came from Robert
Deaton. We think we have pulled
the best educational material into
a tighter package to offer more
comprehensive training.
