STATISTICAL REVIEW OF TRAINING ------------------ 33 Approved For Release 2000/05/08 : CIA-RDP78-06215A000200070004-6 I INT ODUCTION was concerned only with the Department of De- pproved For RgIe se 20901Q5108 : CIA3,[ 8 iO 21i5 ODD26QQ OO4-&ced by Employee Training in t e ederal ervaee is published annually by the United States Civil Service Commission. This is the fifth year the re- port has appeared in this form. It serves two basic purposes. First, it meets the reporting re- quirements established by Congress in the Gov- ernment Employees Training Act. Second, it serves the agencies of the Government, aiding them in the management of the Federal training program. The report contains five sections. Section I discusses developments in several major areas of interest during 1971. Among these were an in- creased emphasis placed on improved management of training, and the continuation of two major Presidential programs, executive development and upward mobility, focusing attention on training for the upper and lower grades of the Federal service. This section also highlights labor rela- tions training, which emerged as a significant area of concern during the year. Section II displays and analyzes data sub- mitted by agencies in connection with their FY 1971 training activities. Section III shows the training activities of the Civil Service Commis- sion, including the Commission's developmental work on a training cost model, which is now avail- able for agency use, and the joint agency-Com- mission evaluation of long-term training in non- Government facilities conducted during the 1960's. Section IV describes significant training programs which helped to improve agency operations dur- ing the year. Section V contains. summary data tables on agency training activities. IMPROVED TRAINING MANAGEMENT Two major documents were issued during calendar year 1971 in connection with the man- agement of training. The first came from the Comptroller General of the United States on May 25. This was Report B-70896,, "Improvements Needed in Management of Training Under the Government Employees Training Act." Follow- ing a review of the management of training programs at 14 Department of Defense installa- tions, the General Accounting Office concluded that better cost accounting systems were needed for training, and that record-keeping, evaluation, and audit and inspection procedures should be im- proved. While the General Accounting Office study training officers in all Federal agencies in manag- ing the training function. A basic issue the Gen- eral Accounting Office report illuminates is the absence of accurate training cost data, data nec- essary not. only for reporting purposes, but also for planning and assessing the training function. The Commission agreed with these findings, and stated that it was designing a methodology which could lead to a uniform cost estimation system for training. This was the training cost model, which is described in Section III of this report. The cost model allows estimates of course costs to be made, given certain assumptions concerning its length, location, format, and instructor and participant mix. While the cost model should meet the Gen- eral Accounting Office requirements for keeping accurate training cost records, it can also assist in meeting the requirements of the second major document on training management to appear, the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-48 (revised), "Responsibilities for Planning Training Investments and Regulations Governing Reduc- tions in Payments to Employees," dated Septem- ber 23, 1971. It stated that "In connection with budgetary responsibilities, the Office of Manage- ment and Budget will review agency training plans and resource allocations to assure that: 491) "2) 993) A systematic planning process is being employed by the agency ; The agency is systematically identifying its training targets ; Adequate dollar and manpower resources to accomplish the training effort have been planned for and assigned ; and Adequate provisions have been made to evaluate and measure benefits of training in relation to the investment made." The Civil Service Commission was cited as being responsible for assisting agencies to develop sound programs and financial plans for training. The cost model in particular can be a basic ele- ment in a training planning system by integrating training plans with the agency budget cycle and by giving agency management the opportunity to select among training options by costing out dif- ferent programs and comparing them. Section II, Agency Training Activities, can also be useful in taking the steps toward better training management required by OMB Circular Approved For Release 2000/05/08 : CIA-RDP78-06215A000200070004-6 A-98. ~,t~rl"0Veda of tai tr sis aining agencies gave uring 9 , as well as trends over the last five years. This report was first published in FY 1967, and now five years of experience are available to begin to discuss trends in a meaningful way. In particular, the con- cept. of training ratios is more fully developed than last year, when it was first introduced in discuss- ing the amount of training given by grade group and pay system. It is believed that these ratios can play an important part in the planning, eval- uation, and control of training, since they refine gross data to show the proportionate amount of time employees spend in training. Section II in- cludes a subpart which shows agencies how these training ratios can be used, as well as certain pre- cautions which must be taken in interpreting the data. Section II is supplemented by Section V, the Statistical Review of Training. This section con- tains the data tables on which the analysis was based, including detailed summaries of training ratios and trends for 31 of the reporting agencies. Any management system requires accurate, relevant data, and both the cost model and the training ratio tables should be able to provide this in the areas of cost projection and the estimation of level of program activity. The long-term train- ing study described in Section III is also a step toward better training management through eval- uation and feedback into existing policy for the purpose of future planning. GOVERNMENT-WIDE PROGRAMS The remainder of the report focuses on pro- grams designed to achieve specific training goals. Among these goals is the establishment of agency executive development programs. For several years, executive development has been a matter of significant concern. On October 8, 1971, the Civil Service Commission issued "Guidelines for Execu- tive Development in the Federal Service," requir- ing for the first time that agencies establish spe- cific programs with high levels of organizational commitment, development plans for each mid- manager of high potential as well as each incum- bent executive, improved mobility programs, more effective training resource utilization, and im- proved program evaluation. The guidelines present ways agencies may use to achieve the policy goals for executive devel- opment set forth in the Memorandum for the ~by the irec or o e ce o arnagemen an. Budget on September 14, 1971. The guidelines are an ex- tension of past Commission interest in manage- ment training, reflected in such programs as the establishment of the Federal Executive Institute, the Executive Seminar Centers, numerous shorter interagency courses for supervisors, managers, and executives, as well as regulations requiring that each new first-line supervisor receive a specified amount of training. In addition, the Commission has undertaken a study of current management training needs throughout the Government, as well as an assessment and proposal of possible systems for meeting those needs. At the present time, most Government managers and executives are primarily specialists who have been promoted to supervisory and policy-making levels. Whether it is believed that administration should be a separate profession, or whether it ought to be practiced only by those who have come up through the specialist ranks, the fact remains that serious questions have been raised concerning manage- ment performance both within Government, as well as by the public at large. The present em- phasis on executive development attempts to face some of these problems. Labor relations training also assumed special importance last year. The Commission's new Labor Relations Training Center became officially and fiscally operative on July 1, 1971, although courses were being conducted at Washington, D.C., and the Regions before that date. Labor re- lations training is one of the most urgent manage- ment training needs in the Federal Government at the present time. Many agencies, however, are not making themselves ready to deal with labor orga- nizations in a bilateral, collective bargaining sense. This is despite the fact that during the next several years at least 3,000 new agreements will have to be negotiated with exclusive bargaining units. Facing this challenge will provide a stim- ulating test for both Commission and agency training operations. Upward Mobility training for lower-level em- ployees continues to be a high-priority program, in addition to those programs which have been established in connection with Equal Employment Opportunity. Section III of this report describes some recent steps of the Commission. These in- clude : (1) establishment of the Southwest Inter- Approved For Release 2000/05/08 : CIA-RDP78-06215A000200070004-6 governmental Training Center in San Antonio, Texas; ~"E~V~ the Commission's central o ce. n addition, e Public Service Careers program completed its first full year of operation, and on January 26, 1971, the Commission issued an FPM Letter (410-9) reminding agencies of the availability of non-Government facilities as a training resource for those in the lower grades. Section VI, Accomplishments Through Train- ing, contains descriptions of some of the agency programs which are directed along these lines. One such program, conducted by the Department of Commerce through Public Service Careers funding, provided orientation counseling and skills training to entry employees, as well as up- grade training for employees in such areas as clerical and stenographic occupations, computer technology, printing, and trades. Supervisors of the worker-trainees received training in special skills essential to supervising low-skilled em- CIA RtP78-06215A000200070004-6 Other areas of training also received special emphasis during FY 1971. Of significant interest was the growth in intergovernmental training programs. When funds are allocated to state and local governments under the provisions of the In- tergovernmental Personnel Act, more activity can be expected. Next year's training report will con- tain a special section discussing FY 1972 data to be reported by agencies on training of this type. This report attempts to present an outline of the FY 1971 training experience. It is hoped that the report will be useful, not only to the Congress in assessing the state of employee training, but also to agency management and training personnel at all organizational levels.

Total participation in- creased by 3.7% from FY 1967 to FY 1971. This increase has not occurred uniformly in all agen- cies. In general, training by the Department of Defense has gone down, while training in the other agencies has gone up. Chart 1 illustrates this fact. In 1967, Defense participation accounted for 56.5 7, of all trainees. In 1971, the corresponding or more participants in FY 1971, only three out- side Defense have decreased their participation since FY 1967. These are AEC (-64.117o), NASA (-31.6%,), and Small Business Administration (-66.0%). All other agencies in this group have grown in participation. In 1967, each of the Defense departments-- Army, Navy, and Air Force-trained more than 140,000 participants. In that year, only two other agencies trained more than. 50,000.

The average session lasted 62 hours, compared to the average for all courses of 50 hours. As shown in Table 3, 31.6 % of professional training last year was given in non-Government facilities on a short-term basis, primarily at col- leges and universities. 62.017o was given in-house. Technical training includes courses in trades and crafts, in facilities and services( such as ma- terials handling and building and grounds main- tenance), and in administrative techniques and skills (such as automatic data processing, person- nel, finance and budget, and supply). In addition, much of this training is given for jobs which do not have counterparts in indus- try or which are difficult to fill through ordinary recruiting channels. These jobs are found in such areas as Federal criminal law enforcement, food inspection, internal revenue collection, and in the military and space agencies. The Department of Transportation operates an extensive technical training operation for air flight controllers, and the entire Federal personnel, budgeting, supply, and grant administration staffs must be. trained in procedures peculiar to government. Four agencies accounted for 8117c of all technical training last year. These were Agriculture, Defense, Transpor- tation, and Treasury. Technical training data show these additional highlights : ?

Technical training averaged 65 hours per instance of participation, compared to the average for all courses of 50. ? 81.2% of technical training was given in- house. Training in administration, management, and supervision (A/M/S) grew 3.8% last year and shows these additional highlights : ? A/M/S training accounted for 2117o of all participants, but only 1417o of participant man-hours. ? The average length of a session was 33 hours, considerably lower than the average for all courses of 50. ? 67.917o of A/M/S training was given in- house. 16.2% consisted of interagency training; and 15.8% was given in non- Government facilities on a short-term basis. There were 292 A/M/S trainees in non- Government long-term training compared to 249 in FY 1970. From 1967 to 1969, this type of training fell steadily, from 183,654. participants to 168,876. Data for FY 1970 reflected the implementation of Civil Service Commission regulations requiring that new first-line supervisors receive 80 hours of classroom training within. two years of promo- tion. As a result, A/M/S training increased by 43.617o in 1970 over the previous year. This level was maintained last year despite the general de- cline in training rates among employees in grades 13-15, 16-18, and Wage Systems supervisors. Participation in other types of training pro- grams increased by 9.9%. The bulk of this train- ing is secretarial and clerical, although other types of training are included, such as apprentice training, fire prevention, orientation, safety, com- munications skills, summer employee training, medical self-help, etc. The average length of train- ing sessions was 30 hours, considerably below the average. 76.517o of this training was given in- house. TRAINING BY SOURCE For FY 1971, 967,619 instances of training were reported in four different categories by source of training. The sources were internal, in- teragency, non-Government long-term, and non- Government short-term.

Last year's growth amounted to 7.8%0. As Table 4 indicates, in-house training occurred primarily in the area of technical training. "Other" types of training, such as training in office skills, is the second largest area of in-house activity. Interagency training showed another year of growth, increasing by 10.2%. Instances of inter- agency training have increased each year since this report was first published for FY 1967. The increase from 1967 to 1971 has been 72%. It is expected that this source of training will continue to grow in the future, as increased emphasis is Approved For Release 2000/05/08 : CIA-RDP78-06215A000200070004-6 "Tn1Sle04Ve~El~iLENTAGE OF T OCTAL PARTICIPATION BY SOURCE AND TYPE-FY 1971 Source of Training P f i l Internal Interagency Short TerrmVeLong Term All Sources ro ess ona , Medical, Scientific Engineering ------- Technical Ad i i t i 15.8 41.8 12.1 23.6 34.6 29.4 74.0 7.5 18.8 38 0 m n s rat ve, Management, and Supervisory----- Other 19.0 37.6 19.0 17.8 . 20.7 23.4 26.7 17.0 0 7 22 5 . .

Administrative, supervisory, and manage- ment training was the predominant type con- ducted on an interagency basis. 37.6% of all inter- agency participants took courses of this type. "Other" and technical training were next in im- portance. Relatively little interagency training was given in the professional fields. Nevertheless, the 10,402 trainees in professionally oriented inter- agency courses represented a 31 % increase over FY 1970. For the third year in a row, non-Government long-term training declined.' The decrease was small, however, amounting to only 20 instances, a decrease of 1.2%. This type of training grew rapidly from FY 1960 to FY 1968, but has de- clined in recent years. Almost three-fourths of non-Government long-term training was given in the professional fields. A distant second was ad- ministrative, management, and supervisory train- ing, which accounted for 17.8% of the long-term training instances. Despite the relatively low number of training instances, A/M/S non-Gov- ernment long-term training increased by 14.7%, over FY 1970, growing from 249 to 292 instances. Non-Government short-term training fell by less than one percent. Training provided by this source was dominated by professional training (34.6%) and technical training (29.4%). Charts 7-10 show changes in these types of training over the last five years. TRAINING BY GRADE GROUP AND PAY SYSTEM Because of the flux in agency population dis- tribution, gross figures of numbers of employees trained by grade group and pay system do not present the most accurate picture of the rate of training, or of the change in the rate. For that reason, this analysis of training by grade group and pay system is based on the computation of training participant ratios and training man- hour ratios. To determine the participant ratio for any group of employees, the number of training par- ticipants is divided by the population for that category. Thus, a group of 1.00 employees with 50 instances of training will have a participant ratio of 50%. Similarly, the training man-hour ratio is de- termined by dividing the number of hours spent in training by the total number of hours worked by the employee group. If the employee group worked for one million man-hours during the course of a year and spent ten thousand of these man-hours in training, the man-hour ratio would be 1.00%. This year, as in the past? the number of hours worked by a full-time employee is taken to be 1816 hours per year. This is 8 hours a day for 227 days (260 days less 8 paid holidays, 20 days annual leave, and 5 days sick leave). The analysis was based on data for 31 Fed- eral agencies.' Those Cabinet departments and large agencies (over 10,000 employees) were in- cluded where over 50% of the employees were either General Schedule or Wage Systems em- ployees. These agencies were Agriculture, Com- merce, Army, Navy, Air Force, Other Defense, GSA, HEW, HUD, Interior, Justice, Labor, NASA, Transportation, Treasury, and VA. In addition, 15 small agencies were included. These were CAB, Civil Service Commission, EEOC, FCC, Federal Home Loan Bank Board, FPC, Long-term training is training through non-Government facilities in courses over 120 days in duration. ;Data for all agencies is included, however, in the discussion of train- ing rates for Gs 16-18 executives.

Population data was that of June 30, 1970. The 31 agencies employ 98% of all General Schedule employees. For the 31 agencies studied, the training par- ticipant ratio was 42.1%. The training man-hour ratio was 1.11%. This latter figure meant that on the average, employees spent 20.2 hours in train- ing during the course of the year. Gross participa- tion increased by 1.5% over FY 1970, but par- ticipant man-hours decreased by 2.81,0 . The aver- age length of training sessions per participant was 48 hours in FY 1971. The average length in 1970 was 50 hours.

This table will be the basis for the discussion which follows. DISCUSSION OF TRENDS GS 1-4. The number of lower level employees in the Federal service is steadily declining and has been for several years. Last year the number dropped by 8.3% from the previous year in the 31 agencies studied. Total training instances at this level also decreased. Despite the net increase in training in- stances, the proportion of time spent in training to total time worked increased for this group. The increase was accounted for by training programs in two agencies. GSA instituted an accelerated guard training program, and the Department of Transportation operated Project 150, where fu- ture Air Flight Controllers in grades 3 and 4 each spent 150 days in training to prepare for future positions. If the data from these two agencies are excluded, then the training ratios for lower level employees did not change to any ap- preciable extent. Summary data show the following highlights for grades 1-4: ? The training participant ratio increased by 4.71,1v and the man-hour ratio by 4.9%.

The 15 small agencies increased training by 34.1 % . ? Five large agencies cut back training by 21 % or more. These were Air Force (-25.0%), Navy (-36.1%), HUD (-44.4%), Treasury (-27.3%), NASA (-21.8%). and ? Employees in this group made up 15.81/o of the total population and 12.5% of all training participants. They received 9.111o of the training man-hours. ? The average length of a training session was 35 hours, or a little more than four days. There was no change in this figure from FY 1970. GS 5-8 The category of employees in grades 5-8 con- tains a preponderance of nonprofessional em- ployees and a smaller number of entry-level pro- fessionals. During FY 1971, the population of this group decreased by 3.7%, but they received more training than the year before. Data show the following highlights : ? Participants among this group increased by 5.5 % and training man-hours by 2.8%. ? Because fewer employees received more training, the participant ratio rose by 9.4% and the man-hour ratio by 6.9%. ? The fifteen small agencies increased train- ing by nearly a third, or 32.8%. ? Three large agencies showed an increase of 96% or more. These were HEW (+96.27,), HUD (+575.07c), and Justice (+130.8%). ? Two cut back training by more than 45%. These were Navy (-45.87,9), and Trans- portation (-55.8%). ? Employees in grades 5-8 made up 18.47o of the total population and 20.917o of the training participants. They received 23.0% of the training man-hours. ? The average length of a training session for these employees was 53 hours, or al- most seven days. This was roughly the same figure as the year before. GS 9-12 Grades 9-12 are the most populous of the GS categories. They are composed of three groups : higher-level non-professionals, entry-level and pre-journeyman professionals, and journeyman professionals. Although their numbers decreased by 3.4% last year, participation increased by 7.47o and the number of training man-hours by 7.217o. Again, fewer employees received more training. The following highlights appear in the data? ? The participant ratio increased by 11.2% and the man-hour ratio by 10.911o. These were the largest increases for any group. ? Four large agencies increased training by more than 521/c. These were HUD (+880.0%), Interior (+66.3%), Labor (+72.6%), and Treasury (+52.2%). ? The greatest decrease occurred in Navy (-33.1%).

Last year there were three long- h th' fi Grades 13-15 are composed primarily of journeyman professionals and middle managers. The population of this group increased last year by 5.7%, the largest increase for any group. Training participation increased by 19.2% and training man-hours by 4.27o. Data show these additional highlights : The average length of training sessions de- creased from 48 to 42 hours. Thus while the participant ratio increased by 12.77c, the man-hour ratio decreased by 1.2%. The amount of training given to these em- ployees did not keep pace with their growth in numbers. Three large agencies increased training by at least 45%. These were HUD (+45.9%), Transportation (+46.79'o), and Treasury (+84.4%). Four cut back training by at least 20%. These were Navy (-27.1%), Interior (-20.2 %), Justice (-44.1 %), and NASA (-22.6%). Employees in these grades made up 7.6% of the total population and accounted for 13.0% of the training participants. They received 11.4% of the training man-hours. The population of GS 16-18 executives also increased last year. The amount of increase was 5.1%, yet the number of training participants de- creased by 4.2% and the participant man-hours, by 17.7%. In addition, the participant ratio fell by 8.917o and the man-hour ratio by 21.27o. The dif- ference in the rate of change of the two ratios was caused by a decrease in the average length of training sessions of 14.0%). Data for all agencies taken together show the following highlights : ? The number of participants fell by 4.9% and the number of training man-hours by 20.2%. compared to eleven in FY 1970. This was a decrease of 72..7%. Non-Government short-term training decreased by 10.3%. ? Greater changes occurred in :participant man-hours. Internal training declined by 18.4%. Interagency training increased by 8.6"/Cl. Non-Government long-term training decreased by 78.2%. And non-Government short-term training decreased by 34.217o. ? There was also change in the average length of training sessions. In 1970, the average internal session lasted 36.3 hours. In 1971, the average length was 32.7 hours, a decrease of 9.9 %. Interagency ses- sions were slightly longer, growing from 86.7 hours to 88.2 hours, an increase of 1.7%. The average length of long-term non-Government programs decreased from 1704.7 hours to 1365.3 hours, or 19.9 %. This was a decrease of eight and one-half weeks, dropping from 42.6 weeks to 34.1 weeks. The average length of non-Govern- ment short-term sessions fell even more, from 42.1 hours to 30.9 hours, a decline of 26.6%. To summarize, training for employees in grades 16-18 decreased last year in three areas, internal training, non-Government long-term training, and non-Government short-term train- ing. Interagency training was the only type of training to grow. Although participation at the Federal Executive Institute decreased by twelve, or 7%, this small decline was more than made up by the growth of other interagency programs. Among the 31 agencies studied, the following highlights appear : ? Seven large agencies cut back training by 29 7 or more. These were Army (-45.2%), Air Force (-29.9%), Navy (-51.3%), Other Defense (--35.6%), Justice (-58.5%), Treasury (--56.5%), and NASA (-34.6%). ? Four increased training by 237o or more.

The average length of a training session ? Employees in grades 16-18 made up 0.21/o was 36 hours. During FY 1970 it was 62 of the agency population and accounted for 0.2% of the training participants. They received 0.3% of the training man-hours. Wage Systems The Wage Systems employee population showed a major decrease last year of 10.3%. Be- cause 85% of the Wage Systems employees worked for the Department of Defense, the bulk of the decline occurred there. The rate of decline was approximately equal in both Defense and the other agencies, 10% and 11%o, respectively. Train- ing data show the following highlights : ? Wage Systems participation fell by 19.77o. Training man-hours declined by 18.6%. The participant ratio fell by 10.5% and the man-hour ratio by 9.8%. ? Four large agencies increased training by at least 100%. These were Commerce (+180.0%), HEW (+291.7%), Treasury (+181.0%), and VA (+100.0%). ? Five showed a decrease of at least 2217o. These were Navy (--28.01/o), Other De- fense (-22.5%), Justice (-100.0%), Transportation (-23.3%), and NASA (-42.7%). ? The average length of a Wage Systems training session was 59 hours. This was the same as for FY 1970. ? Wage Systems employees made up 32.1 % of the total population and 12.9% of the training participants. They received 16.0% of the training man-hours. Other Pay Systems Other pay systems include VA's Department of Medicine and Surgery System, the AD, ST, and YV systems, etc. Participation for employees in other pay systems fell by 18.6% and the number of training man-hours fell by 55.2%. Participant and man-hour ratios were not derived because popula- tion data was not included for this group in last year's report. Highlights include these items : ? Employees in other pay systems made up 4.9 % of the total population and 2.7 % of the hours. The FY 1971 figure represented a decline of 41.9%. Summary of Trends With data for two large single-agency pro- grams excluded (GSA and Transportation), grades 1-4 received the same amount of training as they did in FY 1970. Those in grades 5-8 and 9-12 re- ceived more. Training rates for employees in grades 13-15, 16-18, Wage Systems, and other pay systems declined. Trends in population and train- ing show that the Federal workforce is becoming smaller, while some employees are being more in- tensively trained. Using the Study A summary table for each of the 31 agencies included in this analysis appears in Section V of the report. Assuming the accuracy of the reported data, each table presents a complete picture of trends in training for grades groups and pay sys- tems. Great care should be taken interpreting this data, however. As previously indicated, fluctua- tions in the distribution of training within agen- cies are sometimes profound. This report makes no attempt to explain the causes of these changes, but merely shows what changes occurred. Alone, the figures do'not constitute a basis for justifica- tion or criticism of an agency's training activities. Nevertheless, the summary tables can be useful in the management of training. Accurate data- and the methodology to convert that data into useful information-is essential to sound man- agement decisions. These same elements are also the basis for the planning, programming, and budgeting called for by E.O. 11348 and revised OMB Circular A-48. The participant and man- hour ratios discussed in the present section and shown on an agency-by-agency basis in Section V are one such method. Similar information can be derived by agen- cies as reports are received from constituent units which compile training and population data. This can be compared with data on other agencies with similar manpower and mission characteristics on a Government-wide basis through the Commis- sion's annual training report.

It could consult the training data to deter- mine how much training the employees of the sub-unit are receiving proportionate to the amount of time they work. If the figure is low, compared to other organizations within or outside the agency, an indication may appear that the per- formance of the sub-unit could be improved through training. If the training ratio is average or high, the agency might then reach one of three conclusions : the training received is not appropri- ate to the unit's problem, the training is not being effectively delivered or, that in this instance, there is not a training problem and they should look elsewhere for an explanation of performance de- ficiencies. If additional training is undertaken, the agency could, at year-end, compute a new man- hour ratio to determine how much training was given and compare this figure with any changes which have been observed in the sub-unit's performance. Observing its man-hour ratios, an agency may also conclude that in certain places a large amount of training is being given which has never been evaluated. It may wish to find out why a training ratio is very high compared to those in other sub-units or in other agencies. In some cases, special training programs may suggest obvious answers. But even where a high man-hour ratio can be tracted to a particular program, the agency may determine that the program consumes such a large share of its total training resources that it should be examined carefully to determine its value. In the case of a high man-hour ratio for a particular group of employees, the agency may also wish to study other man-hour ratios to deter- mine whether the emphasis on training for one group has led to other groups being undertrained. Such information can be most useful in planning and budget preparation. In the case of Presidential programs, such as Upward Mobility and Executive Development, the training data can readily show to what extent an agency is participating in the program. An agency may conclude that its man-hour ratio for lower- level employees is too low for advancement to occur and may then take corrective action. On the other hand, it may determine that the train- ing rate is adequate and take no further steps in the absence of further indications that a training n,y ch C I to have etSUb1fe9fWgaawhi does nothing to change the rate of training for an employee group or which may only withdraw re- sources from other programs which still need support. Obviously, training ratios can never be the only items of information which lead to training decisions. The figures are program indicators, giv- ing an approximate idea of the status of the training program, offering clues about where to look to locate training problems, and providing means for monitoring the effects of training decisions. Used for these purposes, the training ratios are more valuable than gross figures of numbers of employees trained or of training expenditures. Properly conceived and applied, ratios of this type will become more useful to management in the planning, evaluation, and control of training. The remainder of this section consists of three data tables showing figures for the agencies included in this study. The :16 large agencies are listed separately. The 15 small agencies are shown together. The tables show Changes in Man-Hour Ratios, FY 1970-FY 1971 (Table 7), Average Time Spent in Training by All Employees, FY 1971 (Table 8), and Average Length of Training Session per Participant (Table 9). These tables supplement the narrative in this section as well as the agency tables in the statistical section (Sec- tion V). AGENCY TRAINING CENTERS 127,621 Federal employees attended agency training centers in FY 1971, accounting for 13.2 % of all training participants. In addition, 20,198 non-Federal employees attended courses at the centers. Table 10 illustrates the participant com- position at all centers.

Of this total, 91 % was composed of staff salaries with the remaining 9 % representing expenditures on training aids, equipment, materials and supplies. There are currently 83 such centers maintained by 15 agencies. Designed primarily to meet inter- nal training needs, these centers are often open to employees from other agencies. Agency Train- ing Centers For Federal Government Employees, a directory compiled by the Civil Service Com- mission's Bureau of Training, provides a current listing of all centers and the courses offered. Where appropriate, interagency participation at these centers can enable Federal agencies to share their training. throughout the United States and in Puerto Rico and Europe. The courses and programs offered include nearly every major field of study from the Arts to Zoology. Table 11 illustrates the partici- pant composition at these centers.

TRAINING EXPENDITURES Summary data show that $200,271,208 were spent for training during FY 1971, an increase of Approved For Release 2000/05/08 : CIA-RDP78-06215A000200070004-6 1970 ex- 17.2% Qover the pre ious ear The average cost million of this ex ense item over FY -6 for C l eacRi`I {4cK~ ~b ~~ -~t`~ 0Pr?$oO j.JA1t 0 FY 1970 average of $176. Non-salary expendi- tures accounted for 487o of the total, an increase of 2% over FY 1970, while salary expenditures declined from 54% to 527o of the total. Thus non- salary costs increased more than salary costs. This is only the second year that agencies have been required to report internal training costs and with only two years of data available, no meaningful trends can yet be detected. All that can be said at this time is that reported expendi- tures for internal training are increasing but that actual growth cannot yet be accurately determined. Non-Salary Expenditures Non-salary expenditures for training totaled $95,338,901, an increase of 1817o over the $80.6 million reported for FY 1970. The average non- salary cost per participant for FY 1971 was $99, an increase of $10 over the previous year's aver- age of $89. This might indicate that non-salary expenditures increased by over 11,7o, while par- ticipation increased by only 6.6%. Expenditures for internal training accounted for $51.6 million, or 541/o of the total non-salary expenditures of $39.8 million. However, for FY 1971, internal travel and per diem expenditures totaled $40.5 million or 78% of all non-salary internal training expenditures. This is an increase of 25 %, or $8 Table 12: AGENCY NON-SALARY This $8 million increase for one item of ex- pense in one category of training represents 55% of the increase in expenditures for all items of expense in all categories of training. Spot checks of those agencies reporting the largest percentage increases for expenditures for internal travel and per diem indicated that an appreciable percentage of these increases can be attributed to more ac- curate reporting systems. Hence, the full amount of the reported increases cannot be assumed to represent an actual increase in expenditures for training but only an increase in reported expendi- tures. This must be kept in mind when examin- ing Table 12, which displays non-salary expendi- tures by type and Chart 12, showing percentage breakdowns. Expenditures for interagency and non-Gov- ernment training combined increased 7%, while total participation in these categories increased 5%. In-house training expenditures increased 1217o, or over $2 million, while participation in- creased by 7.87o. Increases were approximately equal for all types of expense for an increase in the average cost of $13 per participant. Non- Government short-term training expenditures in- creased 47o or $1 million while participation de- clined by .6% or 102 individuals, for an average increase of $6 per participant. Sixty percent of this increase was due to increased expenditures EXPENDITURES FOR TRAINING, FY 1971 (IN DOLLARS) Non-Government Type of Expense Internal Interagency Short-term Long-term Total Tuition and Related Fees _ _ _ _ 793 , 689 6,883,325 15,582,923 1,947,126 25,207,063 Travel and Per Diem------- 40,549,302 4,576,957 7,614,347 1,556,342 54,296,948 Other Expenditures--------- 10,269,374 317,941 4,941,362 306,362 15,834,890 Books and Materials------ (1,864,822) (72,534) (561,337) (140,633) (2,639,326) Contractors______________ (4,824,904) (199,933) (4,339,369) (163,721) (9,527,723) Rental__________________ (508,323) (75) (4,325) (NONE) (512,723) Other Related Costs______ (3,071,324) (45,399) (36,331) (1,859) (3,154,913) TOTAL___________________ 51,612,365 11,778,223 28,138,632 3,809,681 95,338,901 Percent of Total Expendi- tures____________________ 54.1 12.4 29.5 4.0 100.0 Percent change from FY 1970____________________ +29.5 +21.6 +3.7 -2.7 +18.3 Percent change from FY 1968____________________ - +98.4 +34.4 +9.8 +44.1* Approved For Release 2000/05/08 : CIA-RDP78-06215A000200070004-6 Arft oVed%1MNM??

Non-Government Long-Term : 1,642 par- ticipants were trained at a total cost of $3.8 million for an average of $2,576 for each participant; the cost per participant hour for 2,071,587 hours was $1.84. for contractors with tuition increases accounting for 25% and travel and per diem 10%. Non-Government long-term training expendi- tures declined by 3 %, or $125,000, while partici- pation declined by 1 %, or 20 individuals. Tuition payments declined but expenditure increases for contractors and travel and per diem offset most of that decrease. For all sources of training, travel and per diem expenditures accounted for 60 %, or $9 mil- lion, of the total increase in non-salary expendi- tures, with $8 million of that increase occurring in the category of internal training. Participation in internal training in FY 1971 increased by 8% over the FY 1970 level. To obtain an ap- proximation of the actual increase in internal travel and per diem expenditures, the FY 1970 internal travel and per diem expenditures were increased by 8 % which gave an approximate expenditure of $35 million, a decrease of $5.5 million from the reported expenditures for this type of expense in FY 1971. This resulted in total non-salary expenditures for all categories of train- ing of only $90 million, or an increase of 127o over the total for fiscal 1970. This increase is com- parable to the 13 % average yearly increase in non- salary expenditures since FY 1968. Based on reported data, the non-salary ex- Salary Expenditures The total salary expenditures for both full- time and part-time training personnel totaled $104,932,307, an increase of 15.7% or $14,252,335 from FY 1970. The average salary expenditure per employee trained in FY 1971 was $108, for an increase of 8%, or $8, over the average for FY 1970. Full-Time Staff Salary Costs Fifty-two agencies reported full-time salary expenditures of $92,925,988 for 7035 employees in the following categories : ? Employee Development Officers : 2123 em- ployees in this category earned $32;,962,122 in salaries. ? Instructors : 2,895 employees received sala- ries totaling $39,217,252. ? Administrative Support : 749 employees earned $12,128,959 in salaries. ? Clerical Support : 1,269 employees in this category received salaries totaling $8,617,- 655.

Since FY 1968, expenditures for full-time staff salaries 'have increased 89.6%, which is an annual growth rate of approximately 23%. Over the same period, the full-time staff has increased 38.6%, or 1,958 employees, from the FY 1968 total of 5,077, and the average salary has in- creased by 36.8%, or $3,555.

Forty-two agencies reported that part-time personnel worked an estimated 1,147 man-years and received $12,006,319 in salaries. The part- time staff represented 1617o of total training staff man-years and 11.5% of total salary expenditures. The total number of part-time man-years re- mained relatively constant from FY 1970, decreas- ing by only 23 man-years. Salary expenditures increased 7.2% for this category over FY 1970. The average expenditure for each man-year in- creased 9.4% to $10,468, an increase of $899 over the FY 1970 average of $9,569. This increase probably indicates that higher grade level em- ployees are being utilized for training on a part- time basis as the percentage increase in the aver- age expenditure per man-year is greater than the Federal pay raises discussed earlier would ac- count for. DISTRIBUTION OF FULL-TIME TRAINING PERSONNEL The distribution of full-time training person- nel by category for FY 1971 is given in Chart 13. Although year-by-year variations have occurred in this distribution, the long-term percentages have remained relatively constant. The largest change has been in the relative number of Em- ployee Development Officers (EDO's), who have declined from 33% of all training personnel in FY 1967 to 307o in FY 1971. Over the same period the percentage of support personnel has increased 217o from 27% of all full-time training personnel to 297o. Instructors comprised 40% of the total in FY 1967 and have increased by only 17c to the FY 1971 total of 41 %. These changes are shown in Table 14, which shows the percent- age distribution of training personnel by category for FY 1967 and FY 1971. While the table shows a decline in the ratio of Employee Development Officers relative to all Table 14: PERCENTAGE DISTRIBUTION OF FULL-TIME TRAINING PERSONNEL BY'CATEGORY- FY 1967 AND FY 1971 1967 1971 Employee Development Officers------------------ 33% 30% Instructors ------------------------------------ 40%a 41% Support Personnel------------------------------ 27% 29% Total----------------------------------------- 100% 1000/0 Approved For Release 2000/05/08 : CIA-RDP78-06215A000200070004-6 Approved For R aart 13 -51 ~STRIBUTION OF FULL-TIME TRAINING PERSONNEL, FY '1971 2,895 ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT TOTAL: 7035 full-time training personnel, the absolute number of Employee Development Officers and other training personnel in all categories has shown a steady increase since FY 1967. There has been an increase of 40.40, or 611, in the number of Employee Development Officers during this period with all other categories of training personnel showing comparable increases. For all categories, there has been an increase of 52.7%, or 2429 em- ployees since FY 1967. Table 15 summarizes this numerical and percentage growth. The increase in full-time training personnel since FY 1967 has exceeded the growth in agency population over the same period, resulting in a higher ratio of training personnel to all employees. More significantly, the increase in training per- sonnel continued in FY 1971 while the Federal workforce decreased in size. In FY 1967, there Table 15: NUMBERS OF FULL-TIME TRAINING PERSONNEL BY CATEGORY-.

In 1971, these ratios were 1.02 and 3.38 respectively. The changes in the ratio of all categories of training personnel per 1,000 em- ployees are shown in Table 1.6. The Civil Service Commission has long be- lieved that many agency training offices have been understaffed relative to their responsibilities.

As described in Section I of this report, the increasing number of new training programs and responsibilities suggests that more training personnel will be required to handle the resulting workload. In these circumstances, the ratio of training personnel to agency employment will probably continue to increase.

During FY 1971, the Bureau was reorganized into four operating offices or divisions and an office of ad- ministrative management. The operating units serve the following purposes : Training Operations conducts the inter- agency and intergovernmental training pro- grams for Federal, state and local employees at the Commission's Executive Seminar Cen- ters and the Washington and Regional Train- ing Centers. The Training Assistance Division coordi- nates training opportunities for lower-level, disadvantaged, and summer employees, pro- motes and administers the Education for Public Management Program and the Federal Personnel Intern Program, coordinates and promotes the use of interagency training pro- grams, provides agencies with guidance and consultation on individual and general prob- lems related to training, and provides guid- ance and leadership in the development, selec- tion, evaluation, and utilization of modern instructional methods and techniques. The Public Service Careers Office admin- isters Plan D of the Department of Labor's Public Service Careers Program to improve and expand current programs to employ per- sons with limited education and skills within the Federal Government and to expand current activities to upgrade lower-level employees. The Training Management Division serves as the focal point within the Govern- ment for information collection and analysis, strategic planning, systems development, evaluation, and research in regard to training. The Commission's training functions can be grouped into three broad categories, in which any of the Bureau of Training operating units may be involved : interagency training, intergovernmental training, and consultation, leadership, and assist- ance. Highlights of the Commission's FY 1971 activities will be discussed under these categories. The Commission's interagency training pro- gram continues to grow. In FY 1971, '76,053 em- ployees received training in courses conducted by the Bureau of Training and the Regional Train- ing Centers. This was an increase of 24.59'o over the FY 1970 total of 61,087. Of this total, 74,702 attended courses at the Bureau's Central Office and Regional Training Centers. The Executive Seminar Centers located at King's Point, New York, and Berkeley, California, accounted for 1,351 participants. Attendance at these two cen- ters has remained relatively constant since FY 1967. Chart 14 shows the growth in tota participa- tion for all facilities since FY 1965. (Data for the Federal Executive Institute, a separate organiza- tion within the Civil Service Commission, is not included in these totals. Training activities of the Institute are discussed separately in this section.) The FY 1971 participation total includes 7,238 employees of state and local governments, a figure which exceeded expectations by more than 2,000. Commission training personnel offered 3,073 program sessions, giving classroom training of 91,586 hours in length. Attendance at these sessions accounted for 7 % of all Federal employee training in FY 1971. The increased participation and new training responsibilities has led to the establishment of new training facilities and programs which are described below. In July, 1971, the third Executive Seminar Center was opened in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. With this new center, the total capacity at the execu- tive seminar centers now exceeds 2,000 execu- tives per year. The new center will take advantage of the scientific resources and talent available within the immediate area. Labor Relations Training Center In response to the growth of Federal em- ployee unions and negotiated contracts, as well as the need for a "management team" orientation, the Commission established the Labor Relations Training Center during FY 1971. The purpose of the center is to train agency supervisors, man- agers, executives, and specialists in the knowl- Approved For Release 2000/05/08 : CIA-RDP78-06215A000200070004-6 edge and skills required to establish constructive The Center's curriculum is divided into three collective . p ie EroiitReLe see =OJQG108 : O A F 78-06215A000200070004-6 program is designed to train the management team to handle union-management conflict by pro- viding a realistic approach to the collective bar- gaining process as well as the specific skills needed to utilize it. The need is intense. By 1971, more than 3,000 exclusive bargaining units had been certified in the Federal Government. Better than 60.percent of the entire civil workforce was repre- sented by unions. At least 3,000 contracts will have to be negotiated during the next few years. The number of exclusive bargaining units and contracts is increasing at a rapid pace.

First year funding is provided by the Department of Labor. The center was estab- lished to serve as an intergovernmental training facility for Upward Mobility in the Southwest. This step was taken in response to the President's 16-point program to enhance Federal employment opportunities for Spanish-surnamed Americans. The center consists of two components-one for basic education and one for skills training. As the program becomes fully operational, it is expected that employees in cities outside San Antonio, such as El Paso, Albuquerque, and Corpus Christi, will utilize the center's courses. Plans will be coordi- nated through the Dallas Regional Training Cen- ter of the Civil Service Commission. National Indian Training Center Another joint effort of the Commission, through its Denver Regional Training Center and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, is the National In- dian Training Center. It is located at the Instruc- tional Service Center at Brigham City, Utah, and opened in September, 1971. The Center provides educational opportunities for Indians, as well as for governmental officials-Federal, state, or local -who work with Indians. Courses are designed to meet specific needs identified by users. A sampling of courses in the initial offering includes Indian School Board Training, Leadership in the Indian Community, and Grant-in-Aid Programs Avail- able to Indian People. EEO Institute To meet a high priority need, the Commis- sion established a special EEO Institute in the central office Personnel Management Training Center. The Institute will develop courses for de- livery in interagency programs nationwide as well as conduct courses locally. Attendance at EEO courses has greatly exceeded expectations. The Regional Training Centers had anticipated teach- ing fewer than 100 sessions during FY 1971, but found that the demand was for about 130 sessions. Plans for FY 1972 show an increase of about 50 sessions. Formerly, only a few Regional Training Cen- ters offered courses in ADP management or fi- nancial management. Beginning in FY 1972, all of the regional training centers will offer courses in both curriculum areas in ten newly established Management Sciences Institutes. Most of the basic courses in ADP and finan- cial management will be offered initially with the expectation of expanding the curriculum as the centers develop their capability. Examples of the initial courses offered are ADP Orientation, Con- versational Computing, Governmental Bookkeep- ing and Accounting, and Cost/Benefit Workshop. General Management Training Center The General Management Training Center has made the second of its 40-hour basic super- visory courses available through the Government Printing Office. The course is Supervision and Group Performance, designed for nationwide use by Federal, state, and local government organiza- tions. On the initial Commission requisition, 29 agencies purchased 764 instructor manuals for the course. GPO sales on the first supervisory course, Introduction to Supervision, have totaled 825 copies to date. Manuals and participant work- books for both courses continue to be stocked by the Superintendent of Documents. Federal, state, and local governments con- tinued to make heavy use of the Commission's basic 40-hour supervisory courses. During FY 1971, a total of 9,721 supervisors attended these courses. Both members of Congress and officials of executive agencies have expressed a need for in- tensive consideration of the interrelations between Congress and the executive branch. In response to this need, the General Management Training Cen- ter held five two-day briefing conferences and workshops for officials with responsibilities for various functional areas. Three sessions were held for those concerned with education, labor, health, and welfare; and two for those responsible for public lands, land exploration, agriculture, and related areas. During these sessions, participants met with members of House and Senate Commit- tees and key committee staff personnel, selected agency top officials and liaison representatives, and analysts from the Office of Management and Approved For Release 2000/05/08 : CIA-RDP78-06215A000200070004-6 Budget with responsibilities in the program areas ing a more sophisticated understanding of the involveAop*wmdtftt!ReteagW4OA6M/ee : C lPfA0iP- O6246> b2 '0 ( 6t execu- sional committee work and to factors determining how legislative priorities are set, how substantive legislation and appropriation matters in those pro- gram areas are handled, and how conflicts in legis- lative program areas are resolved at the depart- mental, OMB, and Congressional levels. As a result of the affirmative response to this program, seven sessions were scheduled for FY 1972. Federal Executive Institute During FY 1971, 751 executives attended ses- sions at the Federal Executive Institute in Char- lottesville, Virginia. The principal activity of the Institute is an eight-week Residential Pro- gram in Executive Education which is designed to heighten responsiveness to national needs and goals, increase appreciation for the totality of the governmental system, and improve knowledge of managerial processes. There were five sessions of this program in FY 1971 with a total attendance of 266 people- 258 were employed by the Federal government and represented 40 agencies; seven were employ- ees of state and local governments; and one was employed by the World Health Organization. Of those attending, approximately 80 % were at grade GS-16 and above (or the equivalent in other pay systems) and approximately 20%o were at grade GS-15, or equivalent. Other activities of the Institute included short seminars and conferences developed and led by members of the Institute faculty and staff, and by members of other Government organiza- tions. tives participated in the 1971 session. The Executive Seminar Centers conducted several seminars in Intergovernmental Programs and Problems during FY 1971 for Federal, state, and local officials. These seminars explore the origins, evolving nature, and problems of the American system of government. Emphasis is placed on the growing pattern of shared responsi- bility among national, state, and local programs. Their relationship to the larger problems of American Federalism is selectively reviewed from the vantage points of legislative and executive practitioners and scholars at all levels of govern- ment. . The Regional Training Centers have also ex- panded their training for state and local govern- ments. Some examples of regional courses are Managing the Modern City, developed under con- tract with the State of New Jersey, and conducted by the New York region ; courses for county tax assessors, developed and conducted by the Seattle region; and a cluster of specialized courses on environmental projects, such as the Environ- mental Engineering and Water Resources Semi- nar developed and conducted by the Dallas region. A workshop in Basic Employee Development, funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, was developed in the central office and given tuition free to state and local officials by each of the Regional Training Centers. Plans for FY 1972 call for an advanced employee de- velopment course for the same audience in all the centers. INTERGOVERNMENTAL TRAINING PROGRAMS In 1970, the Brookings Institution, under con- tract to the Commission, developed a model Inter- governmental Affairs Fellowship Program. The 1971 program, patterned on this model, was de- signed and conducted by the Commission's Man- agement Sciences Training Center. The primary purpose of the fellowship is to provide the opportunity for intergovernmental learning and mutual assistance among Federal, state, and local officials engaged in grant-in-aid activities. Through this program, Federal execu- tives with policy-making roles in grant programs can enhance management effectiveness by develop- CONSULTATION, LEADERSHIP, AND ASSISTANCE Publications To assist agencies in the coordination of Gov- ernment and non-Government training resources for Federal employees, the Training Assistance Division of the Bureau of Training prepares the following resource publications, all of which are available from the Government Printing Office : ?

A Directory of Studies and Reports Re- lated to Training and Education. This pub- lication is designed to facilitate the ex- change of information by providing a directory of the studies and reports pre- pared by agencies concerning special pro- grams, training needs, and problems. The Commission also issues informational publications on a wide variety of training topics. In FY 1970, -a series on Training Systems and Technology was introduced. As of now, six publi- cations have been issued in this series. Among the subjects covered are training evaluation, pro- grammed instruction, the selection and use of visual materials, and computer assisted instruc- tion. A current directory of available publications is provided in the Commission's Guide to Training Resource and Information Publications. Contract Exchange Information Service In addition to the above publications, the Com- :mission maintains a file of information about con- tracts for training services and materials. This information has been supplied by agencies and is available to government training officers on re- quest. Such information should be useful in mak- ing decisions about new contracts and in taking advantage of products already produced for other agencies. Public Service Careers The Public Service Careers program com- pleted its first full year of operations during FY 1971. The Federal component, Plan D, was ad- * WOMM&K-WisLabor. Office By the end of the year, signed agreements with agencies totalled $7,793,201. The program calls for the hiring and training of minimally skilled persons at entry level as well as providing upgrade opportunities for those already employed. By the end of the year, 2,699 new employees had been hired, and 1,494 designated for upgrade training. 217 had completed training. Trainees were located in 117 cities in 42 states and in the District of Columbia. 707o of the PSC trainees enrolled were employed outside the U.C. area. In addition to employees already participating in the program, commitments for several thousand more have been made by the agencies. The total com- mitment at the end of the fiscal year was 12,974. Participant data show the following charac- teristics of PSC trainees : ? The typical trainee was in his 20"s, male, and lacking a high school education. ? Nearly 917o of both entry and upgrade PSC trainees have remained on the job and are still employed by the Federal Govern- ment. ? Over 957o of the PSC trainees entering the program through the Worker-Trainee Exam are currently employed by their hir- ing agency. ? General Schedule employees constituted 37.97o of the PSC trainees ; Wage Systems employees, 28.517o; Postal Field Service employees, 26.17o; and employees of other pay systems, 7.57o. ? Nearly 157o of entry-level PSC trainees were Vietnam veterans. Several new training programs were devel- oped or utilized in connection with the program. Four of the Commission's interagency training centers developed 14 PSC-related courses, con- ducted 67 course sessions, and trained 1,600 par- ticipants nationwide. HEW's Southwest Inter- agency Training Center, located in Washington, D.C., was funded by PSC and provided suppor- tive services and orientation to over 400 PSC trainees and skills training to approximately 245 more. In addition, an agreement was made with Opportunities Industrialization Center, an inde- pendent, non-profit, "self-help" training organiza- tion for unemployed and underemployed persons, Approved For Release 2000/05/08 : CIA-RDP78-06215A000200070004-6 to provide free orientation, counseling, advisory ? A report to the Commission transmitting servicesA jprO 4edrPionR&t???# 05/08: C IA-RD 8uNktSA0( 2DO?7OO e6lent of Long-Term Training Evaluation During FY 1971, with a decade of long-term training experience, the Commission and 12 Fed- eral agencies undertook an evaluation to provide the basis for planning future investments in the program. The period selected for the study covered fis- cal years 1960 through 1969. Twelve agencies participated, representing approximately 40% of the assignments made to long-term training in non-Government facilities during that decade. They were the Departments of Agriculture, Com- merce, HEW, HUD, Interior, Transportation, and Treasury; and the Atomic Energy Commission; the Defense Intelligence Agency, D.C. Govern- ment, NASA, and VA. (The three military de- partments are also participating in the study. Their evaluations will not be completed until FY 1972 due to the large volume of assignments they made during the period-over 50%) of the total.) The Commission supplied each participating agency with suggested questionnaires and other analytical tools. Agencies had the latitude to put these to use, to modify them, or to develop their own methods for eliciting the needed informa- tion, so long as certain minimum standards were met. The minimum standards set by the Commis- sion were : ? Management appraisals of the influence of the training on the trainee's value to the agency. ? Appraisals by the trainee and his super- visors of (1) the timing of the "payoff"; (2) the degree of utilization of the training received; and (3) the degree of realization of the training objectives. ? Descriptions by the trainee and his super- visors of how the training was applied to the agency's problems and programs. ? Management review of the information gathered and an estimation of the return on the investment in light of the costs and the benefits of the training. ? A summary of findings, showing selected characteristics of the trainees and the training programs, as well as the nature of the return. the agency's policy concerning future use of long-term training in non-Government facilities, and any recommendations the agency cared to make growing out of the study. In reporting the return on their investments, the agencies used the categories established by the Commission: Very Good, Moderate, Small, Broke Even, and Did Not Break Even. Appraisals were reported on 2,610 assignments. In compar- ing the costs to the benefits derived from the as- signments, the agencies reported a moderate or better return on 9017o of the assignments. In only 2% of the assignments did the agencies report that they did not break even. The most prevalent reason for appraisals of less than moderate re- turn was that the employee left the agency which sponsored the training. A number of recommendations were passed on to the Commission by the participating agen- cies regarding the use of long-term training, such as: ? A specific plan for utilization of the trainee should be required for each long-term training assignment. ? A continuing responsibility for achieving utilization of the knowledge acquired through the training should be assigned to an appropriate official. ? A career development profile should be used in connection with training assign- ments under "broadening" programs in order to forecast the employee's position assignments and to assist in utilizing him properly during the critical post-training period. ? A well-conceived written plan for the an- ticipated post-training assignment of the employee should be an integral part of the nominating document. ? The Commission should reaffirm the "simul- taneous selection" concept by reissuing the substance of Bulletin 410-19 ("Selection of Candidates for Long-Term Training," now expired), to ensure that consideration is given to all eligible employees and that the best candidates for long-term training are nominated systematically. ? Guidance should be given to agencies show- 27 Approved For Release 2000/05/08 : CIA-RDP78-06215A000200070004-6 ing how relief from employment-ceiling re- struct costs of a past course where there A ?lirt vedaFGr Ba1aase)2GWQ&$8s: C lAeR Re78ce0&24i AQQQ2QQAi71bQQ4F6ur which send employees to long-term training (such as the allocation of spaces from a central pool). Several agencies reported that increased at- tention would be given to the post-training utiliza- tion of employees assigned to long-term training. In addition, there was clear indication that future selections for long-term training would be influ- enced by the nature of the return the agencies experienced on past investments as revealed by the study. The Commission is reviewing the recom- mendations made by the participating agencies to consider the need for policy changes or guidelines to ensure that future investments in long-term training will continue to be responsive to national priorities and programs as well as present and projected conditions affecting Federal employment. Training Cost Model Over the years, training officers and agency management in general have become more con- cerned with the cost of training. One reason for this concern is the increased cost of training; another is the increased importance of training in an agency's operation. Until now, however, there has been no system available to enable trainers to arrive at standard cost data on training. Since this kind of information is essential for the efficient management of training, the Civil Service Com- mission has developed a training cost model for agency use. The primary purpose of the training cost model is to predict the annual costs of a proposed training course; a secondary purpose is to recon- is no steps are involved in the use of the model. The first is the making of basic assumptions about the course, such as its length, the number of people attend- ing, and the type of methodology used. The second step is the selection of cost data from cost data tables. The tables provide standard costs on salary, travel, development, and production. The third step involves entering the data on four worksheets, covering costs for development, par- ticipants, instructors, and facilities. On each work- sheet, both annual cost and cost per trainee hour are calculated. Annual cost is needed as an input to the agency's budget and per trainee hour cost as one measure of course efficiency. The fourth step is the transferal of the data to a summary worksheet. While the first step-making the as- sumptions-should be done by a qualified training officer, the other three steps can be done by cleri- cal personnel. The model is useful for a number of pur- poses: Different training formats can be costed out and compared. Contractor proposals can be analyzed from a cost standpoint. The cost of train- ing can be compared with the cost of other prob- lem-solving methods. Accurate performance- linked budget inputs for the training function can be provided. And the model gives a sound basis for including training in an agency's strategic planning. The cost model considers, of course, only one side of the cost/benefit ratio. A benefit model is being developed by the Commission which will be initially applicable to jobs with easily obtainable production measures. Eventually the benefit model will be used for jobs with less tangible outputs. Approved For Release 2000/05/08 : CIA-RDP78-06215A000200070004-6 IV. ACCOMPLISHMENTS THROUGH TRAVgd For Release 2000/05/08 Federal Agencies conduct training courses and programs encompassing the entire span of governmental activities. The examples given be- low serve to illustrate the approaches used to satisfy the diverse training needs during FY 1971. Selected from agency reports, these examples have been grouped under the following broad categories: ? Training to Improve Performance of Cur- rent Duties ? Training in Anticipation of Future Pro- grams and Staffing Needs ? Training as a Result of New Missions or Programs ? Training to Keep Employees Abreast of Technological Advances and to Maintain Proficiency in Specialization ? Training to Develop Unavailable Skills TRAINING TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE OF CURRENT DUTIES Defense Supply Agency The Operation Deep Look Training Program (Test, Train, Re-Test) was continued at several field activities during FY 71. An important part of the program is the identification of "perform- ance gaps" and the necessary follow-up training and development. At the Defense Depot in Ogden, Utah, 121 warehouseman and 25 packers received 8 to 18 hours of training in warehouseman tech- niques or packer producers. DDOU operations reports indicate a productivity increase in the receiving function and the packing and shipping functions of 7 to 10 per cent over the FY 70 level. Department of Housing and Urban Development A major reorganization and realignment of HUD at the beginning of last fiscal year precip- itated numerous meetings of the Regional Train- ing Committee to plan types and methods of training needed for employees. The kinds of train- ing required were both a general orientation to acquaint each person with overall goals, objec- tives, and responsibilities, and more, intensive training for members of the professional staff. Program offices worked out a two-day agenda to be taught in the area offices by teams from the regions. A general orientation was first conducted, followed by sessions on various programs or C lAa R O 15~ Oa7E~iQ~C~essions according to their particular area of interest or need. In addition, various workshops were con- ducted in the regional offices. Employees came from area and insuring offices to attend. The workshops included Wage Requirements Work- shop, Seminar on Realignment, (New Roles of Regional and Area Offices),'. RAMIS Training, Financial Management Seminar, Codes Training, and a Model Cities Training Conference. Department of Transportation In May, 1971, the first group of supervisors and managers attended the newly established FAA Management Training School at Cameron Col- lege, Lawton, Oklahoma, where FAA supervisory and managerial training is conducted on a live-in basis. All new current supervisors and middle managers must attend the appropriate course. Each of the three-week courses consists of 80 hours of study in basic supervisory or managerial skills together with 40 hours of laboratory work in which actual supervisory or management situa- tions are simulated. Heavy emphasis is being placed on post-course counseling and application of the newly learned skills and knowledge back on the job. Following the initial training, supervisors and middle managers will attend a one-week re- fresher training course each year. A total of 3,000 supervisors and 600 managers are expected to attend the school annually. From May, 1971,'--f" through the end of the fiscal year, 623 trainees were enrolled. Department of the Air Force Civilian employees were enrolled in the two- week Environmental Protection Course given at the Air Force Institute of Technology's Civil En- gineering School. This course broadens the pro- fessional skills of engineers in the application of identification techniques for environmental pro- tection and control. Fundamental instruction in- cludes current technology in water quality, air quality, solid waste management, noise, radiation hazards, herbicides and pesticides, land manage- ment, and environmental impact statements. The course provides students with a basis for applying principles and methods applicable to identifying sources of pollutants and selecting proper treat- ment and/or disposal techniques to comply with Approved For Release 2000/05/08 : CIA-RDP78-06215A000200070004-6 stanaaras.

It is planned that graduates of this course will be eligible after four years for refresher training in this area. Department of Health, Education and Welfare The Social Rehabilitation Service continued the implementation of a Management by Objec- tives program and developed an operational plan- ning system as part of the newly designed Re- habilitation Service Management System. Train- ing in these programs continued for executives, managers, supervisors and other professionals to participate in the joint setting of organizational program objectives and individual employee ob- jectives, both personal and those based upon job responsibilities. Most of the training is conducted under contract. One of the most important results noticed thus far is the establishment of realistic objectives in tune with the Secretary's goal and Regional Directors' priorities. The service is con- tinuing to develop in-house capabilities to reduce dependence on contracts. Department of the Treasury An international training course was devel- oped in late 1970 by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to better prepare examiners for `exa pining foreign branches and international de- partments of national banks. Twenty-five exam- iners participated in the one-week course. The trainees received intensive instruction in opera- tions of foreign departments of American banks, Edge Act Agreement Corporations, overseas branches, and international banking techniques, such as letters of credit, foreign exchange, foreign loans, and investments. More international train- ing courses will be held in FY 1972. Federal Communications Commission The FCC is sending 7 persons to an Adult Education Demonstration Center for four hours each week so they can obtain remedial education and basic skills in preparation for receiving high school equivalency certificates. Trainees are at- tending the same facility for an intensive vocab- ulary building, reading improvement, and mathe- Small Business Administration Operations have improved throughout the SBA as a result of the agency-wide Cross-Train- ing Program. All professional employees who work with applicants for assistance (financial assistance, management assistance, minority en- terprise) are cross-trained in other SBA assist- ance programs, thereby giving them a good work- ing knowledge of the operations of programs outside their own specialty. TRAINING IN ANTICIPATION OF FUTURE PROGRAMS AND STAFFING NEEDS Department of Defense Project Hire (Alaska Native Employment Program) is a program to recruit, train, and employ Alaskan natives with little or no experi- ence or education. Since the program began in August, 1969, a total of 426 trainees have been brought into the program (Air Force-232., Army- 178, and Navy-16). The program is designed to allow a trainee to progress to a higher target grade or journeyman rate. On-the-job training is the primary method, with outlines similar to those used in the training of airmen. For those in need of special courses, arrangements have been made in addition to OJT. Special typist, key punch, and shorthand courses were set up with local business colleges, and remedial education and GED courses are in progress. Special classes were arranged to train supervisors in the socio-eco- nomic backgrounds of various Alaskan native cul- tures to better understand special problems rela- tive to placement and training of Alaskan natives. The instructor was an Alaskan native, and super- visors who attended the classes said that thia presentation would definitely make their jobs easier in training the Project Hire employees. Department of Commerce In the Department of Commerce, bureaus have been urged to direct attention toward the inclusion of women in professional training. The Department is ensuring that nominees for exec- utive and professional training represent the workforce at the professional level, with special Approved For Release 2000/05/08 : CIA-RDP78-06215A000200070004-6 attention paid to the training needs of women TRAINING AS A RESULT OF NEW MISSIONS who hav'A]W!C ed'r 4b['ReI a e O9lff O8 : P &-*?215A000200070004-6 ment level responsibilities. It is interesting to note that the number of women who attended managerial and supervisory training courses in- creased by 70% over FY 70. At the conclusion of FY 1971, the Depart- ment completed its first year of participation in the Public Service Careers Program. Under PSC, Commerce employed 142 disadvantaged job seek- ers (GS-1 or WG-1 or 2) and upgraded or sent to upgrade training 98 current employees (GS-1 through GS-5). The $100,700 PSC grant from Labor was a major contribution to Commerce's Upward Mobility efforts. Entry employees re- ceived orientation counseling and skills training. Immediate supervisors of the worker-trainees re- ceived training in special skills essential to super- vising low-skilled employees. Upgrading activities included clerical and stenographic occupations, computer technology, printing, and the various trades. Government Printing Office For several years, GPO has provided pre- supervisory training for employees with potential for becoming supervisors. Three hundred and sixty-one persons were trained prior to FY 1971. One hundred and eighty (50 %) of these have been promoted. Some of these employees have been pro- moted several times. During FY 1971, 175 em- ployee completed classroom training and are now receiving rotational assignments and on-the-job training in supervisory functions. National Aeronautics and Space Administration At Langley Research Center, a Pollution Lecture Series was conducted in response to the growing interest by staff scientists in determining the problem areas which are amenable to analysis and solution using the capabilities and facilities available at the Center. This series of six lectures, which was also open to local educational institu- tions and other government agencies, consisted of the following topics : Diffusion and Modeling, Gen- eral and Urban Modeling, Supersonic Transport and Pollution of the Upper Atmosphere, Chemis- try of Air Pollution, Laboratory Simulation of Atmospheric Effects, and Pollution Work at MIT. Department of Commerce In cooperation with private consultants, the Department conducted two "awareness" training seminars. Both were attended by the Assistant Secretary for Administration and 24 top manage- ment officials from all of the administrative areas. The July program, a 20-hour seminar, accom- plished the following: ? Established a common understanding of the Administration's Equal Employment Opportunity Program. ? Reviewed EEO progress. ? Identified obstacles to employment and ad- vancement from minorities' point of view. ? Established an employment and develop- ment program to encourage more qualified minorities and women to make professional careers in administration. Department of Labor Training was able to solve a major opera- tional problem of the Department in FY 71. In January, the Occupational Safety and Health Act was signed into law by the President with an April 1 implementation date. The Act set stand- ards for Safety and Health in the workplace and provided for on-site inspections by Department of Labor safety engineers. With a short time be- tween enactment and implementation, the De- partment was faced with a major staffing. need. The labor market supply of safety engineers was insufficient to meet this need. At the. same time, however, the economic downturn in the aero-space and related industries resulted in a large number of engineers seeking work. It was decided to tap this labor resource by providing an intense residential course in Safety Engineering Techniques and Practices. Five such courses were held. When the implemen- tation date arrived, trained safety engineers were ready and able to usher in a new era of high standards of health and safety for the nation's workers. Federal Power Commission There has been growing concern in recent years regarding potential and actual power fail- ures and blackouts. Previously, the Federal Power Approved For Release 2000/05/08 : CIA-RDP78-06215A000200070004-6 Commission was less active in assessing adequate TRAI N ABLE poweA AT ftMel eret~QQO/fl%94 isCIAjWR-e6~1~5 0 bb&A6 = 6644I& power systems. Because of public concern, the interconnection and coordination of power sys- tems, reliability of power systems, and adequacy of natural gas reserves have become critical issues within the Commission. Much training is being directed toward equipping the staff with the knowledge needed to meet changes in the or- ganization's current mission. Power Systems En- gineering and the Executive Training Program in Liquefied Natural Gas are examples of new training programs. TRAINING TO KEEP EMPLOYEES ABREAST OF TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES AND TO MAINTAIN PROFICIENCY IN SPECIALIZATION Department of the Treasury Since the banking industry continues to be revolutionized by advances in data processing, ex- amining personnel in the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency are enrolled in the programmed instruction course, "Computer Systems Funda- mentals", through the{r local IMB Center. In ad- dition, during FY 1971, a five-day seminar in the use of electronic data processing techniques in bank examinations was established in coopera- tion with a consultant. Several seminars will be conducted to familiarize those concerned with the examination and supervision of national banks with the effect of EDP equipment on examination procedures and techniques. The course also aids the examiner in the re- view of reports prepared by examiners already specially trained to examine the growing number of banks using EDP equipment. Instruction covers both the capabilities and limitations of EDP sys- tems in commercial banks. In addition to this basic training, additional employees from each region were selected for specialized instruction in Advanced Electronic Data Processing. General Services Administration The Office of Automated Data Management Services in the Federal Supply Service began a long-term project to upgrade training in ADP through the in-house development of videotape training classes. The intent of the project is to standardize training at all GSA data processing facilities while at the same time substantially re- ducing training costs. Department of the Army Repairs and adjustments to the lock and dam structures under water level have been a problem since the Little Rock Engineer District became in- volved in navigation. Since Arkansas is an inland state, there are no trained divers available within 500 miles. To alleviate this problem a program to train employees to be part-time divers was devel- oped. Five employees are presently attending the Divers Training Academy at Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for five weeks. After completing the school, they should be able to perform all diving activities required in the district. A sixth em- ployee has several years diving experience in the U.S. Navy. Although the program is rather ex- pensive, in the long run it will be much more eco- nomical than the present system of waiting for divers to report with work crews remaining idle for long periods of time. Department of the Navy The Navy's apprentice program provides an intake to meet anticipated requirements for skilled artisans and for employees with potential for ad- vancement to higher level positions where jour- neyman or technical experience is desirable. Ap- prentice graduates provide a source of personnel for positions such as Foreman, Engineering Tech- nician, Inspector Planner, and Estimator, as well as other ungraded and graded technical and ad- ministrative positions. There were 7,215 appren- tices trained during this reporting period. 3117c, of the graduating apprentices completed their apprenticeship in less than four years. National Labor Relations Board As a result of in-house training under the Upward Mobility program, more than 80 NLRB employees successfully completed courses in typ- ing, shorthand, and English usage. One positive by-product of this training was the certification of approximately 15 clerk-stenographers, most of whom moved into stenographic positions within the agency.
