Training For Industry
“ If Britain is to maintain its position as an industrial nation, those responsible for the control and direction of industry must recognise the necessity for a more highly trained working force.” This is the chief conclusion reached by a delegation representing the Middlesex County Education Committee which visited technical institutions in Holland, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and Germany seeking information likely to be useful in relation to the three-year millionpound programme for the development of technical, commercial and art education in Middlesex.
“ The experience of Continental employers is,” it is added, “that under modern factory conditions skilled craftsmen cannot be trained in the works. It would therefore appear that the technical institutes of Britain should play a more important part in the industrial system.”
