Abstract
IN order that the continuous and rapid technical developments in the iron and steel industry shall not outrure the capabilities of the men who will be required to operate the processes involved, the British Iron and Steel Federation has recently prepared recruitment and training schemes to benefit the industry as a whole. Based on the experience gained by various firms who have already developed training programmes of a far-reaching character, the Recruitment and Training Committee of the Federation has introduced a sample training scheme which has been circulated to all member firms. In order that the scheme should be fully discussed and improved, a Conference was held at Ashorne Hill, Leamington, on January 14-16, 1949, under the chairmanship of Mr. Gerald Steel, joint managing director of the United Steel Companies. The Conference was attended by representatives of member firms from all parts of Britain, and included production managers as well as personnel officers of various grades.
