Title: Ireland’s participation in the 8th International Vocational Training Competition, Modena 1959
Description: 8th International Vocational Training Competition, Modena 1959. The competition included participants from Italy, Spain, Germany, England, Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Ireland. Ireland achieved 2 first places, 3 second places, and 1 third place, performing strongly across trades like brickwork, electrical installation, fitting, and jewellery.
The report underscores the challenges faced by the Irish team, including limited preparation time, lack of experience with metric tools, and reduced selection pools compared to countries like Spain or West Germany. Nevertheless, all Irish apprentices completed their tasks and delivered commendable results under pressure.
