Training Within Industry Scheme Master
Content Author's Note:
Information about the Training Within Industry Scheme [TWI] within New Zealand is presented on this page for historical purposes and fact. Having retired many years ago, the author is no longer active in presentation of TWI programs. The reason for the page is because when government administration of the TWI Scheme, conducted by Industrial Training Service [ITS] of the former Department of Labour, ceased in 1987 no documents were filed with the National Archives. The author retains all of his documents which have been copied by a USA person to facilitate recovery of the TWI Scheme in the USA and other countries.Training Within Industry [TWI] Scheme - A Management Tool
The world-successful Training Within Industry [TWI] scheme can contribute greatly to the skills shortages within any business, it is acknowledged as the only industry training system that actually works. The Scheme is managed by our TWI Master, Victor Johnson. His qualifications and experiences enable him to seamlessly transfer the management of the scheme to any business, thus becoming a very powerful productive management tool.
The simplicity of TWI programmes and their implementation within a business as a management tool conceals the complexity of how it the TWI Scheme was developed.
