Report Of The Fitting And Machining Trade Course Review Committee

This book grew out of a seminar which brought together research workers from a variety of disciplines, senior policy makers, and people who had practical experience working with youth in transition or other programs or in unemployment. The prime purpose of the meeting was to promote wide-ranging discussion from a variety of perspectives and to provide an opportunity for exchange, interaction and the development of some common identification and understanding of the issues.
