facilities like this?
IAN: Yes. We pay a levy of two and a half per cent of our annual payroll by law, and
we aren't taking advantage of the benefits it offers. That'll be my chief argument.
PETER: You'd better get your sums right. You know H.G. sees everything in terms
of figures. His dreams are probably in figures!
IAN: I expect you're right.
(lan goes along for his interview with Hector Grant)
HECTOR GRANT: Well, Ian. what do you want?
IAN: Er... the training programme. We...
GRANT: I thought that we'd agreed to discuss it tomorrow?
IAN: Er... no. Three o'clock today.
GRANT: Oh, very well then. Though I can't say I'm in the mood for any discussions.
I've just had an awful lunch with Alfred Wentworth. He will insist on telling me how
to run my own business.
IAN: I'm sorry, H.G. I... er...
GRANT: Well, don't let's waste time. What is it you wanted to see me about?
IAN: I think we really need to rethink our entire training programme. In my opinion,
our present apprentice training system is inefficient and wasteful.
GRANT: What's wrong with it?
IAN: It's unplanned- Each year we take on a couple of toolmaker or sheetmetal
worker apprentices- They are trained on the shop floor, when and where the foreman
and skilled operatives can spare the time. Of course, we try to keep them busy, but
inevitably while they are learning they make mistakes. The quality of their work is
not up to standard. We lose time and material. And the apprentices aren't efficiently
trained.
GRANT: They also go to the local technical college for training, don't they?
IAN: Yes, they do. By the rules of the national scheme we have to release them one
day a week to attend courses, and those link. up with the practical work they do with
us. This wouldn't be affected by what I am proposing. What I propose has to do with
our training programme, here, on the premises.
GRANT: Well, what do you propose?
IAN: Well, I... er... I think we need a separate apprentices' workshop with full-time
instructors.
GRANT: That's out of the question. It would cost far too much.
IAN: Are we right in assuming that? We should save on time. The training would be
concentrated; we'd cut out the waste of time and material on the shop floor...
GRANT: Have you thought of what it would involve, setting up and equipping such a
workshop? It's out of the question .
IAN: Yes, but you know we can get a grant from the Engineering Board?
