Abstract
This thesis is divided into two x>arts. Pert One describes
an investigation which was conducted across the industrial belt
of Scotland into the problems of industrial training, particularly
at what is called the craft apprenticeship level, and gives the
resultant findings* Part Two contains an historical account of
the development of the apprenticeship system which is still
important in British industry, reviews vocationing training
practices in other countries, and considers the implications of
the accumulated evidence in relation to the concept of training
for skill.
