  • How to use the Records
    The files in this series are arranged in annual single number order.

    The original control record is no longer extant. Consult the Records Description List for this series to identify the unit (box) which contains the item you require. Files are listed by file number, the file title is also listed.

  • Function / Content
    This series comprises general subject correspondence files created and maintained by the Ministry of Employment and Training (1982-1985), Department of Labour II (1985-1987), and State Training Board (1987-1988).

    The series contains inwards correspondence and copies of outwards correspondence relating to the promotion of employment and industrial training initiatives, job creation, the co-ordination and supervision of apprenticeship training - both on the job training and formal training provided by TAFE Colleges, and the provision of employment and training assistance.

    The Ministry of Employment and Training and its successor agencies provided administrative support to the Industrial Training Commission and hence this series also contains correspondence of the Industrial Training Commission. The duties of the Commission included to review the requirements of the State for skilled tradespeople and technicians, promotion of apprenticeship schemes, and to review the adequacy of training apprentices in employers workshops and TAFE Colleges.

    The series in custody is not the entire series, it is only the portion of the original Ministry of Employment and Training General Subject Correspondence files which relate to industrial and apprenticeship training. As the responsibility for industrial and apprenticeship training has been transferred to successive agencies the files have followed function, see VPRS 10982.

    The responsibility for industrial and apprenticeship training was transferred to the State Training Board when it was established in November 1987. The State Training Board continued to maintain this series for approximately six months until the staff from the Training Division of the Department of Labour were relocated to join the staff of the former TAFE Board, c.June 1988. It was at this time that this series was closed and the State Training Board continued to maintain the series inherited from the TAFE Board, see VPRS 11381 General Correspondence Files, Annual Single Number System.

  • Recordkeeping System
    Files were created by the registry of the Ministry of Employment and Training, and then Department of Labour. Files are arranged in an annual single number order. Folios within files are numbered sequentially. The original register which allocated file numbers at the time of creation is not extant. A computerised file numbering system was commenced in c.August 1987. This control system is not extant.
