All junior training schools arrange holiday camps during the summer for
suitable children.
Adult Training Centre
There is one adult training centre in the Borough and this is situated in Jubilee
Gardens, Southall. It is for 60 trainees and is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Work
is obtained from local firms on a contract basis and includes assembling electrical
and television parts and trimming rubber components for motor vehicles. Trainees
are also instructed in general gardening work and several have obtained work in the
past as nurserymen. Three trainees were successfully placed in employment during
the year.
Every effort is made to simulate the conditions of open industry, trainees being
required to clock on and off, and monetary award systems operate. Similarly, the
mid-day meal, which is prepared on the premises, is purchased in the canteen as in
industry. Also trainees living within two miles of the Centre are expected to travel
there by themselves, transport being provided for those who live at a greater
distance. Travelling alone is a valuable training in itself but the purpose of insistence
on this is sometimes misunderstood.
Holidays are arranged for all suitable people attending adult training centres.
The London Borough of Hounslow was responsible for arranging two camps during
August and September, each for a period of 10 days at which a total of 17 Ealing
trainees attended.
