Industrial training for the disadvantaged
Abstract
This chapter draws upon our research on Industrial Training Units for ‘slow learners’ in South Wales. The units, set up and run by a local education authority, represent an unusual initiative in the field of further education for this client group. They constitute an associated project in the EEC’s programme of action on the transition from school to working life. As part of our evaluation of the project, ethnographic fieldwork has been carried out in two such units and is reported on here. (1)
