Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Training Opportunities for Connecticut Women The last two years have made definite changes in the various fields of women´s work; during the war their activities were greatly extended, and it can no longer be doubted that women are in the industrial, business, and professional world to stay. The war deepened the realization in England and America that, even with a reduced working force, maximum production could still be maintained, if the efficiency of the workers was increased by training. Now that the war is over, it is more necessary than ever that such efforts should be continued, and the present period of readjustment is an opportune time in which to develop and perfect new programs of training. It is not likely that there will be much immigration to this country in the near future; labor will be scarce, and woman power must be used as economically and as efficiently as possible. Up to the present time the majority of women have been engaged in routine work, largely due to the fact that they have not been fitted, either by training or experience, to hold higher positions. Today, in the opinion of the Woman´s Division of the U. S. Employment Service in Connecticut, training is a fundamental issue, as experience has demonstrated that training and placement are closely allied. With the aim of making the connection between the two still closer, the following list of the training courses for vocational and professional training, offered to women in the schools and colleges in Connecticut, has been compiled. A study of the educational standards of the institutions offering these courses would have made the survey more valuable, but this was not possible, as an investigation, thorough enough to be of service, would have entailed greater expense and a larger staff of workers than the Employment Service could afford at the present time. Every effort has been made to make the list as complete as possible, though undoubtedly some mistakes and omissions will be found, as it is the first time that anything of the kind has been attempted in this state. As Connecticut does not offer training for every field of work open to women, representative courses given elsewhere have been included to show that available training can be had for every occupation in which women are working. A survey of the current demands for women´s work has also been included. It is apparent that this is difficult information for the schools and colleges to obtain themselves, and it is hoped to make this the beginning of a closer cooperation between the educational institutions in Connecticut and the Employment Service, so that in the future the needs for trained women and the courses for training them will develop simultaneously. This pamphlet has been modeled on the bulletin "Opportunites for War-Time Training for Women in New York City," compiled by Miss Emma Hirth and issued by the Clearing House for War-Time Training for Women, of the Council of Organizations for War Service. The Woman´s Division of the United States Employment Service wants to express its appreciation to Miss Hirth and also to Miss Eugenia Wallace of the Employment Service of the Young Women´s Christian Association in New York for the information and advice which they have given it. We want also to thank all the institutions and individuals who so kindly responded to the questionnaires which were sent out and without whose assistance the present pamphlet would not have been possible.
