Abstract:

Desperate for workers during World War II, factories opened their doors to a new workforce, women. Fairchild Aircraft in Burlington was one such factory desperately which desperately sought new workers. Initially the factory witnessed large turnovers and determined that majority of workers quitting were new employees lasting less than 30 days. To counteract the loss of workers, the factory instituted a new program of on-the-job training to retain workers.
