THE latter part of 1967 has been tentatively set
as a target date by the Road Transport Industry Training Board for the institution of a training grants policy—and hence a supporting levy. It is stressed that this is purely a provisional forecast: much depends on the results of a survey of current training in road transport which the Board approved at a meeting on Tuesday.
The proposal for a survey to establish just how much training, and of what type, is being done in road transport, was put forward by the training policy committee, which met last week.
The Board is now considering in some detail what its initial training policy ought to be, and which principal categories should be given most encouragement.
It is still hoped that the RTITB will occupy Capitol House, Wembley, before the year's end. A programme of Board meetings for next year has now been worked out, and applications for the posts of director-general and chief training officer are being considered.
