The Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) of Tennessee and the Nuclear Division of the Union Carbide Corporation established an industrial training program called Training and Technology (TAT) which was conducted at the Oak Ridge Y-12 plant. TAT instructors were provided by the regular work force of Union Carbide while ORAU provided the administration, planning, program development, trainee service, job-related education, and job placement aspects of the program. A brief description of the five training areas offered in the program is presented: welding, machining, industrial electricity, physical testing, and mechanical operations.
