ON THE JOB TRAINING COSTS, AN ANALYSIS.
ARZIGIAN, SIMON
A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION WAS MADE OF THE FEASIBILITY OF COMPUTING COSTS OF ON-THE-JOB TRAINING FOR ENLISTED MEN NEEDED TO BRING THEM TO THE "JOURNEYMAN" LEVEL. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS STUDY, ON-THE-JOB TRAINING INVOLVES LEARNING OR IMPROVING JOB PERFORMANCE UNDER ACTUAL WORKING CONDITIONS. AT PRESENT THERE IS NO SYSTEM WITHIN THE NAVY TO "COST OUT" ON-THE-JOB TRAINING. TRAINING COST REPORTING IS LIMITED TO FORMAL, OR SCHOOL, TRAINING. THE ADDITION OF AN ON-THE-JOB TRAINING COST TO THE SCHOOL COST (IF ANY) WOULD PROVIDE A MORE COMPLETE TRAINING COST. SINCE TRAINING COSTS PLAY A MAJOR PART IN MANY PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT DECISIONS, A COST WHICH REFLECTS ALL THE TRAINING PROVIDED AN INDIVIDUAL WOULD PROVE VALUABLE.
