Training For Defense
By Rufus T. Strohm
Dean, International
Correspondence Schools
qpHE shifting of -workers from one
A job to another so that they can
acquire new skills and handle sev
eral different jobs in one plant if
necessary, is called “up-grading.”
Experienced personnel managers
say this system keeps men from
going stale, improves morale, in
sures skilled labor for all opera
tions, and frequently produces all
around skilled men for foremen and
other top production jobs.
Short refresher study courses are
being used increasing’/ to hurriedly
train men and women for industrial
jobs. Many such courses, supplied
by various institutions are financed
by the government. Other study
courses are financed in part or en
tirely by employers.
The cry is for skilled men, and
the supply is far too short in some
industries now engaged In national
defense projects. Some educators
are confident that plenty of skilled
labor can be trained for the defense
program if employers will realize
that they can no longer hang out a
“help wanted” sign, but must ar
range thel- operations to utilize
specialized skills and then take the
time and trouble to train new work
ers for these skills.
We have stepped almost overnight
from a surplus of workers to a
shortage cf workers, especially
skilled and semi-skilled workers.
Recently one of the nation’s fore
most educational authorities said,
"We will have the task of convinc
ing parents and children that a
high school education may, and
probably should, lead to a machine
shop rather than a desk.”
