The Central Training Council set down in 1968 a procedure agreed between the Department of Employment and industrial training boards for setting up joint committees of boards to coordinate the preparation of training recommendations for jobs which are found in more than one industry. Such a joint board committee was established for Commercial and Administrative Training under the general auspices of the Engineering Industry Training Board. The Chairman of the Committee is Mr F Metcalfe. Membership of the Committee includes representatives from other industrial training boards, employers, a university and colleges, trade unions, the Department of Employment, and the Department of Education and Science and the Scottish Education Department. The Joint Board Committee set up five sub‐committees to consider the training required in identified functional areas, each serviced by one of the boards represented on the parent body. The report of the Personnel Management/Training sub‐committee which was serviced by the Foundry Industry Training Committee and chaired by Mr F Christopher Hayes is the first of the five sub‐committee reports to be published.
