Group training under the Act

Abstract

It is natural that there should be, at this present time, a renewal of interest in group training schemes — or, as they are often called, group apprenticeship schemes. Group schemes are important in that they provide a framework within which certain firms, small firms particularly, can meet their training obligations. What the big boys fail to realise when they complain about small firms evading their training responsibilities is that, without some suitable framework, the training job is just too hard for many firms to tackle: they cannot provide the skilled instructional staff and training organisers, nor can they create a variety of training situations. It may be that group training is not the only available framework, but the fact of the matter is that it is the best provided so far.
