This week: Job Training
Launched in September, the El.5 billion Employment
Training scheme has got off to a shaky start. The TUC and many local authorities have boycotted it. Even some major employers have expressed doubts. Yet the Government says it is simply trying to train the workforce for the jobs available. Helen Madden reports from
Tyneside, Manchester and Sheffield on the background to the ET controversy. In the studio Employment Secretary the Rt Hon
Norman Fowler , mp, defends the scheme. And the programme explains the training alternatives that exist for the long-term unemployed.

A series of 13 programmes presented by Colin Blakemore
9: The Living Word
Professor Blakemore volunteers to have his brain scanned at the Hammersmith Hospital where researchers are trying to understand human language. Deaf people can readily learn sign language, and, thrown together through the slave trade, illiterate children invented completely new Creole languages with complex grammar - but chimpanzees struggle to learn the simplest sentences. What gives the human brain its unique talent for language? A stroke has made Tom Butters 'lost for words' but he can understand a conversation perfectly. Carol is the opposite. She has no problems with words but can't see what sentences mean. Producers (WNET)
