What Industry Wants for Training in Dairy Manufacturing from the Production and Management Standpoint

The Borden Company—Midwestern Division, Columbus, Ohio

ABSTRACT

Educational Changes

Industry leaders are concerned about the changes taking place in dairy industry education. We have noted the drop in dairy technology graduates. This comes at a time when, because of many changes taking place in our industry, there is greater need than ever for well-educated manpower. Many of us in industry have the feeling our universities should be upgrading and strengthening the dairy technology curriculum. A real concern is that the aims for dairy education are not clear. I would like to point out how many of these young men are brought into our commercial companies, and what we are seeking in these men.

Present Leadership

Many dairy companies are now headed by executives who have moved from jobs as production specialists into high level management. Career usually follows a pattern. A university graduate begins in the laboratory or some supervisory position in the plant, advancing in production and sales operations to the level of production manager or sales manager.
