(5) Firms with two or more years' experience of job instruction are now arranging further training for new supervisors appointed as a result of staff changes and promotions. This illustrates the continuity of demand for T.W.I. During the year also, the T.W.I. Service has been assisting managements in an increasingly wide number of fields to organize the Job Instruction Programme for their supervisors. It has been extended for example, from industry generally to such widely differing fields as the Public Service, the Air Force (trade training), hospital household staff, and civilian air transport. It has also been shown that the introduction of T.W.I, creates an interest in other techniques of personnel management. (6) Another development has been the introduction of the Job Instruction Programme into localities in the North Island outside the main centres. A survey of demand for T.W.I. was made also in Christchurch and Dunedin during 1949, preparatory to organizing in these centres, but it was apparent that the staff was too small to deal with the demand revealed and that consolidation of organization and administration and the training of further staff should precede development in the South Island. (7) By 31st March, 1950, the number of supervisors trained by the ten-hour Job Instruction Programme was as follows :

Supervisors Trained in Job Instruction

By 31st March, 1950, there had been 67 representatives of firms, Government Departments, Air Force, and Army trained by the T.W.I. Service as Job Instruction Trainers (known as Firms' Trainers), 29 having been trained during the year 1949-50. These Firms' Trainers have been trained to enable them to undertake the training of supervisors in the Job Instruction Programme within their own establishments. (8) Of the 1,699 supervisors trained in job instruction to date, the following table shows the number trained by Firms' Trainers, and those trained by the full-time staff of the T.W.I. Service :
