Abstract
Like it or not — the Industrial Training Boards are here to stay and growing fast. To date there are 29 (coming up 30 with the 'pending' Hairdressing and Beauty Culture ITB), ranging down from the mighty Engineering ITB with a levy yield of £85 million (1968/9) and influence over the fate of three million workers, to happy little outfits like the Water Supply ITB with a mere 44 000, and the romantic sounding Knitting, Lace and Net ITB which proves, in fact, to be quite a substantial organization involving 1400 establishments, 154 700 employees and a one per cent payrole levy amounting to over a million. Between them they levy £130 million, grant £120 million, spend around £4 million on administration and the remainder on centrally directed training services for their specific industries — including research.
