This balanced system of training enables the apprentice to learn the "why" as well as the "how" of the trade. Both types of training are required for advancement in today's competitive industries. The job-related courses for: the skilled trades are highly specialized, and, adequate training materiais are for the most part not available commercially. To meet this need, the Department of Education, in cooperation with labor and management, develops the required training materials and makes them available to you at cost. This workbook is an example. It was written to provide you with up-to-date information you must have to meet the growing technical demands of the meatcutting trade. Every effort has been made to make the workbook cleai, comprehensive, and current. I congrattilate you on your choice of meatcutting as a career. The effort you put forth today to become a competent journey-level worker will bring you many rewards and satisfactions, and the benefits will extend also to your community. We need your skills.and knowledge, and I wish you every success in your new venture.
