Technician training for the small firm: on example from the footwear industry

Abstract

The footwear industry requires highly skilled technicians but there are considerable training problems: numbers are small, they are widely scattered, training is required at irregular and often unpredictable times and the application of basic knowledge varies considerably. This article describes an approach to training technicians under these conditions which is both rapid and effective.
