maintenance workers. This ALPART Training Center for Industrial Skills was to serve the ALPART aluminum plant in Nain, Jamaica. A senior team of Dunwoody employees would begin to train and set in place Jamaican personnel as trainers. Time-release training aimed at select job targets dovetailed with on-the-job training and specifically customized training manuals. This partnership came to a successful conclusion in the fall of 1972. During this time, a nine-member Dunwoody team worked with Esso Standard Libya Inc at the Marsa el Brega terminal in Libya. This refinery and production complex provided an opportunity to develop curricula for and operate ESSO’s Industrial Training Center. In Saudi Arabia, the Arabian American Oil Company (ARAMCO) began a long-term training relationship that lasted into the '80s. New hardware and software for basic and mid-level electric and electronic training at the Ras Tanura Industrial Training shops were targeted. The curriculum developed there was transferable to two other sites: one in Dhahran and the other in Abqaiq. Freeport Indonesia Inc hired a Dunwoody team to help with its copper mining project in Irian Jaya. The objective was to assist in training the indigenous Indonesian workforce as electrical, mechanical, and mobile machinery operators at the townsite of Tembaga Pura. These mining facilities were remote, the Indonesians from jungle tribes and the size of the enterprise larger than Dunwoody had ever attempted before.

the University in teacher training courses to spend part of their class time at Dunwoody to observe and practice all types of trade and industrial education. This reciprocity allowed Dunwoody instructors to enroll in and receive credit for courses offered by the College of Education at the University that were part of the teacher training authorized by the Smith Hughes Act. These matriculations were considered scholarships and did not encumber the University or the Institute in monetary exchanges, only the awarding of credits. There were no other recognizable post-secondary technical institutes or colleges at this time in Minnesota.
291:. The institute's development and operation was funded by the Ford Foundation and assisted with staffing from Dunwoody. In 1956 Dunwoody began its third technical assistance program, in the Union of Burma, establishing the first technical high school in Rangoon. In a government-sponsored building, four Dunwoody employees assisted the Burmese in developing shops, curriculum and demonstration materials. Burmese instructors were delivered the curriculum. The Annual Report of the Ford Foundation noted Dunwoody Institute’s efforts in Insein and Rangoon. It also noted that a second Teacher’s Institute was started in Jakarta. 38: 264:

Six American teachers from Dunwoody were sent with Towner to work with indigenous Indonesians to make training available to prospective and interested teachers in the Indonesian technical school system. Seven Indonesian teachers were sent to Dunwoody for training so they could return and support Towner's efforts. On November 27, 1953, K. Nagaraja Rao, a graduate of the

Rao left Dunwoody in 1965 to become a program officer for the Ford Foundation’s Latin American program after a 12-year tenure. Robert R. Minarik, a graduate of the Dunwoody electronics program and the University of Minnesota, replaced Rao, bringing his experience from Burma and Saudi Arabia. 247:
