A long-range study was designed to measure the effectiveness of a training methodology called high intensity training to prepare workers for higher level jobs in less time than traditional training methods. The subjects of the study are six organizations, 68 trainees, nine supervisors, and six management personnel; three to eight months after completion of high intensity training. The training was viewed favorable by management and supervisors and was found to have a positive effect on the attitudes of workers. However, there were some criticisms and suggestions made for improving the HIT procedure. (Author)
