Works training school and technical college — co‐operation or competition?

Abstract

The Training Boards for Engineering and Construction have both embraced the principle that grant for apprentices is to be conditional upon the apprentice following a day release course in a technical college. In Engineering this condition will come into force on 1st September 1966; in Construction, it already applies: grant will be paid only in respect of trainees attending a technical college course on day or block release. In their system, which the Construction ITB describe as transitional, and which they have adopted to get things moving quickly, no recognition in terms of grant is made for any in‐plant training — any training the company may do for manual workers on their own premises.
