The Instructor, The Man, and The Job: The Legacy of CR Allen for Corporate Training
Most histories of corporate training or Learning and Development as it is known today, are missing the most detailed account of the establishment of modern training practices in history. The United States entered World War I late in 1917 and the war was over a little over a year after that. The shipyard building efforts were a big reason why the war ended and the training practices forged during this period were the work of Charles Ricketson Allen better known as CR Allen who was a prominent vocational educator and MIT graduate. CR Allen captured systemic instructional and best training practices still followed today during his time as part of the Emergency Fleet Corporation war effort. In this episode, I discuss the events that led to Mr. Allen's involvement and key highlights of training and development practices from his book The Instructor, the Man, and the Job.
