Abstract	A study was designed to identify models of industry-based training (short-term training designed to upgrade or update the skills of employed workers). Information was gathered through a review of literature and 13 telephone interviews in 4 states with persons previously involved in outreach programs to business and industry. Researchers also attended seminars and meetings on customized training. The study identified the following eight models of industry-based training: (1) competency need; (2) diagnostic or medical; (3) democratic; (4) individual appraisal; (5) system discrepancy; (6) analytic; (7) self-fulfillment; and (8) performance discrepancy. The study also found two key parameters to the models: the different occupational skill levels at which training can be targeted and the administration of such training. As a result of the study, criteria were developed to evaluate the models of industry-based training. Finally, procedures were developed for identifying appropriate models for use in the Minnesota system of technical institutes. Appendixes include the interview protocol and a list of persons interviewed. (KC)
