A Study of Training Programs Sponsored by Business, Industry, Labor, and Government in the State of Wisconsin. Final Report.

Through the use of mailed and personal interview questionnaires, the study attempted to determine the extent of formal, organized training programs in Wisconsin sponsored by business, industry, labor, and government. Information was sought concerning the areas of training presently provided, the amount of training in terms of number of trainees, and the purposes of training programs; i.e., whether they are used for job entry, retraining, or upgrading of employees. A further area of interest was to determine in what ways Wisconsin Vocational, Technical, and Adult Education (VTAE) Districts can be of assistance to business, industry, labor, and government employers with their training programs and to increase communication between personnel in these organizations and VTAE personnel. The findings of the study are tabulated and discussed in detail and recommendations made for further study. Appendixes include a nine-item bibliography, lists of members of advisory committees and personnel involved in the study, and a copy of the questionnaire. (KP)
