TRAINING

The War Department has established a comprehensive Training policy which provides training for the development and maintenance of an effective civilian work force, including training for executive management, for supervisors, for job skill, for health and safety, for upgrading, for orientation, for morale and for production efficiency.

The B. H. O. D. Training Branch has assumed the problems outlined in the War Department policy and offers assistance to all divisions, branches and sections where there is a specific need for training.

Civilian Training will not have achieved its full mission until the output of each worker is being used at his highest potential of ability; and until the total production of the installation is beyond improvement in quantity and quality.
