Preceding the Sixth Annual Meeting of the Inter-American Center for Research and Documentation on Vocational Training (CINTERFOR), a 3-day seminar to study manpower development and training was conducted. The seminar was planned and coordinated by a committee with representatives from the U.S. Department of Labor, The Agency for International Development, and the Dunwoody Industrial Institute. The specific objectives were to examine the role and contribution of organized labor in training development, role of private industry in manpower training, the need for effective communication between government and the private sector on all matters related to manpower requirements and training development, the nation's patterns of education and training, and the factors influencing the trends of manpower development. Seminar proceedings pertinent to these objectives comprise the body of the report. (BC)
