International Training Centre of the International Labour Organization

Given its tripartite structure, the Centre is governed by a Board composed of representatives of governments, workers' and employers' organizations. The Board approves the annual programme and budget, provides strategic guidance and direction to the management of the Centre, proposes adjustments to reflect changing priorities and resources, and through the review of internal and external audit reports, exercises an oversight role in relation to financial and internal governance matters. The Board meets annually and is chaired by the Director-General of the ILO.[2]

The President of the Italian Republic Mr. Giuseppe Saragat ITCILO

In the 1950s and 1960s, following decolonization, the Governing Body of the ILO sought a permanent facility that could produce agents of development for emerging nations.[3] In 1961, the Italian Government, during the century of Italian unity celebrated in Turin, offered the “Italia 61” premises. In May 1963, the ILO’s Governing Body unanimously adopted the Centre’s statute and established, in collaboration with the Italian Government, the International Training Centre on 24 October 1964. The agreement was signed by Giuseppe Saragat, Minister of Foreign Affairs, for the Italian Government, and by David A. Morse, Director-General for the ILO. By 1 October 1965, the International Centre for Advanced Technical and Vocational Training was opened.
