Training Services Agency: 5 year plan

Abstract

The Employment and Training Act 1973 requires the Manpower Services Commission ‘to make such arrangements as it considers appropriate for assisting people to select, train for, obtain and retain employment and for assisting employers to obtain suitable employees’. The services for which the Commission is responsible will be provided by two agencies—the Training Services Agency and the Employment Services Agency. The TSA was established and came under the direction of the Commission on 1 April. The ESA, at present still in the Department of Employment, will move to the Commission on 1 October. The TSA has prepared a five year plan for training policies and programmes financed from public funds through grant‐in‐aid to the Commission. The Commission is now examining the plan in discussion with the Agency. The article which follows is an edited version of the plan. ‘Training Services Agency — a five year plan’ is obtainable from HMSO, price 61p. ISBN 1 11 361054 8.
