A works‐release week: Industrial orientation in the schools

Abstract

One can rarely read through a technical education journal or attend a meeting of Industrial Training Officers and schools staff without being confronted with the subject of industry/schools liaison. Many articles have been written expounding the values of such liaison in order to bring about an awareness of technology to the schoolboy but, to the best of our knowledge there is little on record of practical schemes which have been attempted to satisfy this need. We have been fortunate to have assisted in the organization of such a scheme and feel that the following account will be of interest to industrialists and schools staff who are contemplating co‐operation on this front.
