Description of series:
8 X 5 cards which were used to record the details of the subjects taken by trainees, the commencing and completion dates and the reason for discontinuance where the course was abandoned.  In respect of part-time courses the information covers the full course but in the case of full-time courses only until the trainee had reached the stage of 40% proficiency when training was commenced at a technical college.  From 40% to 100% details of progress were recorded by the Assistance Section, Department of Repatriation in a master register.  The cards were also used as an index to the trainees personal files which were held in order of 'RW' file nos.  The cards show both 'RW' number and 'CR' number - the 'CR' number being a consecutive number allotted to each application received by Industrial Training Division.  Although shown on all personal files and recorded on the history card, it was only used for statistical purposes.
