The Politics of Industrial Training in the United Kingdom*

Malcolm Anderson and John Fairley Jurue

Journal of Public Policy, 1983, vol. 3, issue 2, 191-207

Abstract: Important and controversial changes have recently taken place in industrial training in the United Kingdom. Training is a complex policy area – industrial, economic, educational and social objectives may be pursued through it. For the most part it has been policy formation which has been dominated by professionals and thus there has been a ‘closed system’ into which outsiders rarely intrude. But outside influences have become more powerful; consequently the professionals are careful about which issues they place on the agenda for discussion. However, the most striking impression made by the training system is its lack of coherence and this may undermine its effectiveness.
