A Study Assignment Approach to Training

Abstract

National Westminster Bank, in common with all organisations which “grow their own managers”, is required to train certain of the staff to attain a wide ranging knowledge of the specialised fields of its work. This is particularly so of the International Division, where at the present time a “long course” has been organised to train young men and women, who have already reached junior management, in the work of departments that deal with the processing side of international business. Eventually as many as 12 people at any one time will be attached to this two‐year course and they will stay one month, three months—whatever time is necessary—in a department on a “working attachment”. This actual “doing” of the work will create a firm understanding of the procedures and give a very broad and solid basis to their banking careers.
