Making Education and Training Impact on Industry

Abstract

Making education and training impact on anyone these days seems to be an increasing difficult problem. Perhaps one of the reasons we see this growing problem and our relative failure in attempts to make education and training more effective is that institutions and individual motivations, which we have traditionally relied upon to create an educated or trained person, are in a tremendous state of flux. In this paper I should like to explore factors or areas which impact on industrial training and education, and then present to you an innovative system which deals more effectively and more appropriately with each of these factors in order to create more effective programs. By more effective programs, I mean programs which are utilized by the individuals who are supposed to be "educated" or "trained" and which actually help them increase their productivity and performance levels on the job.
