Industrial Teachers Technicums

institutions that prepare production-training experts for professional-technical educational institutions. The first industrial teachers technicums were organized in 1943 in Moscow, Kuibyshev, and Magnitogorsk; in 1971 there were 62 such schools in the USSR. The industrial teachers technicums accept working youths with special education within the scope of the professional-technical educational institutions and with qualifications not lower than the third skill-category. Graduates are awarded the qualification rating of technician-expert in production training.
