Role of Short Courses, Conferences, and Newsletters in Personnel Training^{1, 2,}

Department of Dairy Technology, Extension Ohio State University, Columbus

ABSTRACT

Each department must adopt a philosophy and develop appropriate adult education or continuous educational programs to help industry educate and develop men while the men are being employed. These should be organized in accordance with the desires and need of the commercial industry. These are of several basic types:

1. Short courses—2 wk. or more—full-time; to train men how to do the job better in plant work. Some departments are very successful with them. We had moderate success for a few years. Two years ago, after surveying industry, they were discontinued because of lack of interest. One of the main problems was that they are designed for small plants, but small plants can not spare key personnel full-time for 2 wk.
   
2. Short courses—correspondence. We introduced a 5-mo. correspondence short course 2 yr. ago which involved weekly lessons for those who participated and a one-day visit at the university per month.
