Great Britain's Industrial Training Act

Extension Specialist University of Missouri

This magazine presented in its February and May 1966 issues the first six chapters of Dr. John Welch's "Task Unit Approach to On-The- Job Training." In June 1966, Britain's Hotel & Catering Institute Journal published excerpts of these articles from The Quarterly. In July, the same journal published the British Hotel and Catering Industry Training Committee's report which recommended that a task-unit approach to education for the industry be adopted by their government.

Education for the hospitality industry is to be given in four general categories: 1) Food Prep aration and Cookery; 2) Food Service; 3) Front Office; and 4) Housekeeping. A "sandwich ap proach"-alternating periods of classroom in struction with on-the-job training- is recom mended in mastering tasks of different levels in any one of these four departments. Certificates of competency are to be awarded to trainees who successfully master each task level. Employers who provide on-the-job training approved by the Committee will receive government aid from the education levy placed on all establishments in the industry.-Editor
