Over the past eighteen months plans have been laid in Britain which will revolutionise the business of education, training, recruitment and employment. The planning stage is coming to an end and the implementation stage is taking over. REVIEW is an attempt to co‐ordinate all this information in a form that will help those with the decisions to make and the action to take: company managers, staff in education establishments, trade unionists, careers officers and so on. It is a situation paper setting the scene for a massive two year period of implementation and appraisal. It describes the new provisions and sets out the issues to follow through and the judgments to be made. REVIEW starts with THE YTS STORY: how what was originally a rescue operation for Britain's unemployed juveniles was, along the way, turned into something else and eventually became a blue‐print for an entirely new pattern of training and employment. REVIEW explains why this potential revolution can be made into a reality only by imaginative and bold action on the part of employers. But there are other factors at work which will influence the final form of the new pattern and so REVIEW describes and analyses a series of recent announcements which will have their own formative influence on this new pattern.
