It may not be what you're looking for, but the Ministry Of Labour set up training camps around the country in the 20s that ran until the early 40s. My grandfather was sent to one in Lincolnshire, he was supposed to learn agriculture, but mostly he helped clear land for reforesting - http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/radio4/making-history/able-bodies.pdf and http://www.workhouses.org.uk/labourcolonies/
