LEARNING AND IMPROVEMENT OF STAFF

The magnitude of the orders placed in recent years at the Aerospace Industries, as well as the quality required for the equipment, required the rapid increase of the number of workers and technicians as well as the improvement of their professional qualities.

When it was set up, the SOCIÉTÉ NATIONALE DE CONSTRUCTION DE MOTEURS was preoccupied with dealing with this double problem and organized, among its members, for the workers:

For Engineers, means of documentation:

a) Learning. - The difficult superimposition of theoretical learning and practical learning has been achieved by an agreement between l'ÉCOLE PRATIQUE D'INDUSTRIE D'ARGENTEUIL (the INDUSTRIAL PRACTICAL SCHOOL OF ARGENTEUIL) and the WORKSHOPS of S.N.C.M.

Thanks to this organization and the collaboration of the management and supervisory staff, the number of apprentices doubled in the first year of operation of the SOCIÉTÉ NATIONALE and most of them obtained the certificate of professional aptitude (C.A.P.).

As a result, this year's results have resulted in more than 400 applications from young people or their families.

b) Improvement. - To overcome the serious deficiency of true professionals, a class of workers that is essential to an aviation engine industry, the S.N.C.M. took the initiative to organize advanced courses, both theoretical and practical.


These courses are open to all workers who wish to complete their professional knowledge. They deal with former professionals who have been decommissioned and employed as a specialized laborer, those who have obtained their C. A. P. and who wish to be officially classified as professionals, and finally, skilled laborers who possess the necessary skills, but who have not had here the opportunity and the opportunity to perfect oneself.

If the theoretical courses are common to all, the professional and textbook courses are specialized by category:

A final exam passed under the auspices of l'ÉCOLE NATIONALE DES ARTS ET MÉTIERS DE PARIS (the NATIONAL SCHOOL OF ARTS AND CRAFTS OF PARIS), sanctions at the end of the course the indisputable aptitude of the interested parties.

The certificate of qualification of professional worker is then issued to those who have successfully met the examination.

This certificate naturally exempts the beneficiaries of the test of professional worker in the workshops of the S.N.C.M., but forms moreover a reference of value with the other industries.

It should be noted that the voluntary and completely unselfish competition of the masters and engineers of the S.N.C.M. greatly facilitated the organization of these refresher courses.

The very encouraging results obtained so far make it possible to certify that the goal pursued by the SOCIÉTÉ NATIONALE DE CONSTRUCTION DE MOTEURS is fully achieved. It has thus created in its Workshops itself an interior source of new and skilled professionals who, moreover, have a thorough knowledge of the methods and tools specific to the aeronautical manufacture of this Society. This <<workers promotion>> ensures a continuous rise to the staff, the new professionals being replaced at their former positions by the hiring of specialized laborers and laborers.

150 students are currently attending the S.N.C.M.

c) Contribution to the development of the technical training of engineers. - This contribution of the SOCIÉTÉ NATIONALE DE CONSTRUCTION DE MOTEURS has been affirmed by the organization of a vast judiciously composed library, which makes it possible to facilitate the studies or the works undertaken by the technical staff to increase their knowledge. Specialized books such as foreign journals are periodically received and contribute to the development of general ideas and a better understanding of science at all levels.

German and English courses make it possible to involve engineers and employees more directly in foreign productions while increasing their general knowledge.

The scientific curiosity awakened by this library is complemented by visits to factories which materialize on particular points the realization in full scale of the technical progress applied to the subject.

In addition, the close liaison of the design and manufacturing engineers with the users of les Services de Contrôle Officiel (the Official Control Services), realizes the essential link to science and its application.

Finally, lectures by the plant's employees reinforce the study guidelines for those concerned and create a scientific camaraderie that generates excellent work and better collaboration.
