TRAINING AND RECOMMENDING STUDENTS FOR ACCOUNTING WORK IN INDUSTRY.
Many executives and accounting supervisors have frequently wished for some worthy means of determining the real potentialities of college graduates as prospective employees. Some attempt has been made in this respect by the use of accounting and aptitude tests. This alone has proved to be inadequate. Further, employers often have not been able to place much reliance on or derive much real information from, letters of recommendation prepared by the student's professors. This is often due to the fact that the professor has very little information regarding the student, the recommendations are hurriedly and haphazardly prepared, there are no provisions made to avoid burdening the professor with repetitious recommendations and the requests for letters of recommendation are usually made very near the dose of the year when the number is large and academic activities are at a peak. Accounting professors, particularly those who have had the experience of employing and supervising accountant in industry, have an unparalleled opportunity to judge the possible future effectiveness of the accounting student as an employee.
