FOR THE

PRINCIPAL JOBS IN THE

SPINNING BRANCH

OF THE

TEXTILE INDUSTRY

MAY 1978

PREPARED BY THE

TEXTILE INDUSTRY TRAINING BOARD

FOHEHfOED

We were appointed in March 197 to succeed the now defunctTextile Industrial Committee of the Industrial Training AdvisoryCommittee to advise on the training of technical manpower in thetextile industry* We were given broader terms of reference, includingamong other things the training of technologists, which was outside thepurview of our predecessor*

In this manual, we have prepared standards for 5 principaljobs at technologist, technician, craft and operative levels in theSpinning Branch of the Textile Industry, These stand *rds should beregarded as guidelines rather than rigid rules. They are publishedfor the following purposes :

(i) to introduce a generally acceptable standardof skill for principal jobs in the industry,

(ii) to assist technical institutions in planningcourses,

(iii) to assist employers in drawing up propertraining programme for apprentices/trainees,

(iv) to assist employers in assessing thecompetence of their workers*

We are of the opinion that a good worker should possess notonly technical skill and knowledge but also civil spirit* It is hopedthat in framing training syllabuses, education institutions should payequal attention to the cultivation of civil spirit* Only then will therelationship between the management and the employees grow co-operativeand friendly*
