context_section_description: 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.
  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.
