MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Training
Weekly Activities Report No. 37
13 - 17 September 1971
1. NPIC Training Officer, visited AIR
on 14 September and informed us that NPIC has devised a
"Director's Opportunity Program" to assist the development
of lower-grade disadvantaged employees. Culling from
professional positions those activities which did not require
professional skills, seven new jobs were created and job
descriptions written at the GS-07 and -09 levels. The job
descriptions were circulated in NPIC; about 60 employees
applied for the Program. Seven employees at the GS-04 and
-05 levels were selected by the six supervisors who will be
responsible for their development, and these seven have
been placed in the new jobs at their present grade level.
NPIC plans to offer these employees appropriate training over
the next 12 - 18 months with the goal of producing effective
enough performances to qualify them for the jobs at the new
GS level. NPIC is asking OTR's assistance in developing a
training program which will help these people achieve the
goal of qualifying for the higher-grade jobs. I
will confer with Mr. and assist him in producing a
course of study for each of the people in the Program. Both
internal and external courses will be scrutinized and either
or both will be utilized wherever applicable. Mr.
mentioned that this "pilot" Program received the DDI's and
the Director's approval.
2. On 10 September attended the opening
ceremony and tour of the Communications and Office Skills
Training Center, Civil Service Commission, located at
1121 Vermont Avenue, N. W. Mayor Walter Washington,
one of the CSC Commissioners, and Mr. Rubens, Director of
the Center, spoke at the opening ceremony. The facilities
and equipment were impressive; the emphasis seems to be on
individualized instruction. Detailed information on the courses
and training equipment is being circulated.

detailed report on all aspects and is routing it to the DDS&T,
the DTR, and the DDS. We are preparing a memorandum to
the Senior Training Officers announcing the second running, as
we did last year, with an attached questionnaire which will
double as a registration form. Enrollment in the last course
was divided between (ORD, DEL, OSP, OSI, FMSAC); DDI (NPIC);
DDS (OC); and DDP (TSD). The main objective of this course is
to enhance technical skills and relate an emerging body of
sophisticated technical tools, those of stochastic problem
solving, to current Agency intelligence applications. ORD will
again fund the course.
