Training in Skills: 1: Benefits

on BBC One London

Training in Skills - no more of Nelly?

Presented by David Shute.
with Douglas Seymour, Ian Goodhand, Eric Wheatcroft.

Operators used to learn on the job "sitting next to Nelly", but in a modern fast-moving age this is no longer efficient. Even before the Industrial Training Act a quiet revolution was under way: now the technique of Skills Analysis is spreading.
This starts by critical analysis of how the experienced worker does the job. Then exercises are planned to begin a step-by-step training to build speed and stamina.
By these methods installers of central heating are trained in a week, the accident rate among scaffolders is cut, and in valve assembly production is up by 30 per cent, while training time has been halved.

Repeated on Thursday evening
(to 13.00)
