Eighteen papers were presented at the conference by practitioners, academic researchers, labor representatives and members of government. Summaries of papers are grouped under the headings: Apprenticeship as a Training Process; Lessons from Followup Studies of Journeymen and Apprentices; Minorities in Apprenticeship; Apprenticeship Training in Reference to Manpower Planning; and Lessons from Foreign Experience and Apprenticeship. Complete texts of three papers are included: "Alternative Approaches to Improving Apprenticeship Effectiveness," by George Strauss; "A Trade Union Perspective on Apprenticeship Research," by Reese Hammond; and "A Computerized Labor Market Information System and Its Place in the Construction Industry," by Edwin A. Markowitz and D. Quinn Mills. It was concluded that apprenticeship is basically healthy, and that the guiding principles for a future oriented model apprenticeship system are: (1) voluntarism, (2) flexibility, (3) a wide range of occupations, and (4) quality and quantity. Specific conclusions and recommendations were categorized: (1) cost and financing, (2) ways and means to improve quality of training, (3) apprenticeship and minorities, and (4) data requirements for developing model training systems.
