AN Industrial Training Board for road transport is now scheduled for next year along with Boards for three other industries. This was announced by Sir John Hunter, chairman of the Central Training Council, at a Press conference held Iasi week in London when presenting the Council's first annual report. Sir , John added that because they were very large and important industries the Council thought it was right that they should be set tip as quickly as possible.

So after previous forecasts by the Ministry of Labour that a road transport board would be set up this year, it is now apparent that this board will be a relatively late starter. Already, aS Sir John revealed, nine industrial training boards are in operation, of which five have issued levy orders. In addition five more hoards are expected to be set up by the end of this year, with a further four scheduled for next year.

Indicative of the ultimate effect of the Industrial Training Act, Sir John announced that the proportion of boys obtaining apprenticeships in the first nine months of this year was an all-time record—namely, four out of every 10 boys leaving school.

The Act, however, was not limited to apprentices. as some thought. Ensuring that managers and supervisors in their respective industries were properly trained was one of the most important jobs a Board would have to do.

The Council was convinced that the pace of technological change was going to be so rapid that more retraining of adults would be necessary, said Sir John. The old concept of a single occupation for life was becoming increasingly unrealistic.
