Code: WSI_1771
Title: International Apprentices Vocational Training Competition. Early History of its founding and British entry
Description: International Apprentices Vocational Training Competition. Early History of its founding and British entry. By John H. Ireland (Instructor - Steal Company of Wales). Document detailing the history of the IVTO and the UK entry from 1947 to 1964. The author was John H Ireland, an instructor with the Steel Company of Wales.
The document gives great detail of the UK's entry to the IVTO and competitions, including the work of Fred Hill and Arthur Emerson.
Of interest is the revelation that the Spanish organisers contracted UK organisations about the 1953 competition but were ignored. It was only after he learned about it indirectly that Fred Hill decided to journey to Madrid with his son Doug. Hill's later attempts to involve British industry in the competition are also detailed.
The paper then records the formation of the UK team and the assistance provided by City & Guilds and a small number of UK companies
