And at the same the Task Force for Human Resources and the FORCE time it affords the opportunity to make contact with Technical Assistance Office have received a large project promoters, thereby satisfying information number of requests for information concerning both needs and, wherever appropriate, encouraging access the names and addresses of the projects and also their to the various dissemination and transfer opportunities nature, their content, their partners and their working within the network. methods. Many of these questions amounted to: "can you just tell us what these projects actually do?"

I. THE FORCE PROGRAMME • to take better account of the consequences of the completion of the internal market, in particular by FORCE is a Community Action Programme aimed at supporting transnational and transfrontier training improving, in both quantitative and qualitative terms, projects and the exchange of information and continuing training in the European Community; more experience; specifically, it aims to enhance, at one and the same time, the competitiveness of companies and the skills • to contribute to greater effectiveness of continuing of their employees. vocational training mechanisms and their capacity to respond to changes in the labour market. FORCE (Formation Continue en Europe - Continuing Training in Europe) was adopted by the Council of Ministers for Social Affairs on 29 May 1990 (Council Ill. PARTNERS IN THE FORCE Decision 90/267/EEC, which appeared in the Official PROGRAMME Journal No. L 156/1 ).

TRANSNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP The term "transnational partnership" denotes an inter­ est grouping of companies, their associations and training bodies and any other participants, from not less than two Member States, with a view to working together on continuing vocational training activities of benefit to the Community. In the case of FORCE, every transnational partnership must contain at least one undertaking, and in the case of qualification projects, at least two undertakings, one of which must be a small or medium-sized enter­ prise (SME). Partnerships to whom priority will be given according to the type of project are defined in the Guide.

RESULTS: The results of the programme will pre­ pare the ground for a future pilot pro­ ject for the development of training materials. They will also support the creation of a network of data banks capable of supplying companies, wor­ kers and their representatives from the metal and agro-food sectors, with all the information necessary for the sett­ ing up of a modern continuing train­ ing infrastructure at company level.

The project is of GUAGE CENTRE specific benefit to alumina companies SOUTHAMPTON (UK) : HONEYWELL located in peripheral areas of the ICOTRON LIMITED Community.

ACTIVITIES Specific training needs are to be iden­ tified before an advanced control training programme in co-operation with the two companies is designed. Aughinish Alumina will test the pro­ gramme initially for process control engineers and through cascade train­ ing for supervisors and operators. Relevant translation facilities will be provided to enable testing in the Spanish partner company and direct feedback will refine the developed programme.

RESULTS Training modules to be produced will comprise written material and over­ head slides presented in learning units. Practical computer-based tuto­ rials will be used extensively to help trainees understand the basic concepts and give them more control over the information. Dissemination will take place through formal channels within the European alumina industry. Publicity will be generated at a formal launch of the IRL/91 /81 0/P-FPC product in Ireland. 143 IRELAND EXCHANGE PROJECT FOR DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURE

RESULTS: The materials produced will be in the form of a multi-media computer-aided system - a mix of video-films, photo­ graphs, spoken and written language, in Dutch and English. A handbook will also be developed as an additional support. The results will be promoted in Ireland and the United Kingdom as well as in other pharmaceutical industries in EC countries where English is the compa­ ny language.
