Careers:TRAINING

The Interboard Administrative Commercial and Clerical Training Liaison Group was formed in 1977 under the sponsorship of the Training Services Division of the MSC. Its membership was not only from Industry Training Boards but also from organisations such as British Rail, British Gas, Insurance Industry Training Council, and Electricity Supply Industry Training Committee. Its terms of reference were to provide a forum for communication, discussion and liaison on administrative, commercial and clerical training; to maintain links with professional and educational bodies; to identify areas of need in administrative, commercial and clerical training; where a number of members had an interest, to establish a Working Group to investigate and determine further action. The long term objectives were to establish areas of common interest, and to draw up an annual operational plan for the liaison group. This has usually included a number of one‐day workshops and an annual conference.
