"How the Shortage of Skilled Mechanics is Being Overcome by Training the Unskilled" is a publication focused on industrial training during World War I, released in the early 20th century. The work is organized by the Council of National Defense and highlights efforts and policies aimed at addressing a significant labor shortage in skilled mechanics to meet wartime production needs. The likely topic of the book is the structured approach to training unskilled workers effectively and efficiently, emphasizing the collaboration between labor, employers, and educators to maintain production demands. The opening of the publication sets the stage for discussing the urgent labor shortage of skilled workers, which was exacerbated by wartime industry demands. It highlights training programs initiated by various factories, showcasing how they were adapting their workforce through rapid, intensive training methods rather than traditional apprenticeship. Different committees, representing labor, employers, and educational institutions, collaborated to establish training departments where unskilled workers could quickly learn specific tasks relevant to wartime productions, ensuring a skilled workforce could be ramped up to meet urgent national needs.
