What is Training Within Industry?

Training Within Industry Service was an official department of the of the War Manpower Commission during WWII. TWI Service existed between 1940-1945, training over 23,000 supervisors in three basic skills:

  • Job Instruction Training (JIT) or, how to instruct
  • Job Methods Training (JMT) or, how to improve methods
  • Job Relations Training (JRT) or, how to lead people

    A fourth program was aimed at training directors:

  • Program Development (PD) or, how to spot a production problem and solve it through a training plan
  • Through a planned "multiplier effect", four-hundred TWI Service representatives trained 23,000 supervisors in over 16,000 U.S companies during the war. Those 23,000 supervisors in turn, trained and developed over 1.7 million U.S. workers in the TWI 'J' programs.
