In this age of constant change, yesterday's theories about career
training soon become
irrelevant to the
,
needs and, demands of the new
generation. It is time to reexamine our asswnptions; it is time for,
a fresher and closer look at our systems for :recruiting, selecting,
placing, training; and above all, utilizing ci~,reer trainees.
T am, therefore, asking each department and agency to create a
committee through which young trai
nees represe:nt:ing various disciplines
and programs can review and evaluate all aspects of the systems through
which. they have become part of the Federal workforce. Members of the
comm~,tte8, should include ?`A71~^ACen-F-n +.l.___ ~_n___
