THE HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL has announced that it will offer a War Production Retraining Course for professional men commencing February 1. The purpose of this full-time, intensive course is "to assist the war effort by facilitating the transfer to war production of men displaced from their normal occupations." The course, which will consist of about 40 hours of classes a week for 15 weeks, is sponsored and paid for by the Engineering, Science, and Management War Training Program of the United States Office of Education.
Enrollment for the first session will be limited to 150 men who must be between the ages of 35 and 60, and who have demonstrated in their peacetime business or professional experience those qualifications of ability, leadership, and adaptability which will enable them to assume supervisory positions under wartime conditions.
Topics to be studied include accounting and costing, industrial purchasing, personnel and management controls, production organization and engineering. Men successfully completing the course will be given certificates, and the school will utilize the facilities of its Placement Office to obtain positions for them. However, the school seeks no draft deferment for its students; the question must be decided by local draft boards.
Further information can be had by writing to Retraining for War Production, Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, Soldiers Field, Boston, Massachusetts.
