COLLEGE EDUCATION
FINANCING
Financing a college education is a burden. Even for those
in the middle income (or upper-middle income) category this
load can appear overwhelming. With family planning, cooperation,
and research the problem can be managed. In this article the
Office of Training presents some guides to help parents of college
bound children assess their financial situation realistically and
suggests various sources of financial assistance, indicating
procedures for seeking this aid.
SOURCES OF FUNDS
In general the parents are still the principal source of
funds for higher education. Colleges anticipate that, on the
average, families will use savings and portions of current income
to meet about half of the annual expenses.
The student is expected to contribute about one quarter of
the college costs from savings and earnings. His willingness to
assume some responsibility to pay part of these expenses is given
favorable consideration if he is applying for a scholarship or
other type of aid.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS
To meet the rapidly rising costs of higher education,students
and parents in many cases find it imperative to seek financial
assistance from outside sources. One such possibility is a
scholarship, or grant, by the college to the student based on
scholastic achievement and need as shown on, or in conjunction
with,the application for admission to the college. Another possi-
bility is a part-time job created and funded by the college.
LOANS AND WORK-STUDY PROGRAMS
In addition to dispensing scholarships and campus jobs, many
colleges participate in two federally-supported financial aid programs:

Approved For Eftlemq./M4Ri :$141,13pP78-06370A000100010005-0
the National Defense Student Loan Program and the Work-Study
Program. Although the U.S. Government provides or guarantees
the bulk of the funds, the college has the responsibility of administer-
ing the programs and choosing the recipients.
To assist them in making their choices and determining the
amount and type of financial assistance, many colleges subscribe
to the College Scholarship Service (CSS) which analyzes the Parents
Confidential Statement and estimates the amount the family can
contribute toward annual college expenses. It is recommended
that parents obtain a Parents Confidential Statement from their
child's high school soon after the start of the Senior year and submit
the completed form to CSS by the date specified in the instructions.
LENDING INSTITUTIONS
Even in those cases where a student has been granted some
financial assistance and, particularly where none has been granted,
other money is frequently needed. Lending institutions have
established education loan funds with various conditions of eligibility,
rates of interest, and repayment terms. One of the more attractive
funds is the Federally supported Guaranteed Loan Program with its
very favorable interest rate and extended repayment features.
However, since participating banks are limited, and usually reserve
these funds for their own depositors, parents are urged to initially
inquire of their own banks for this kind of loan. Some banks,
although not participants in the Guaranteed Loan Program, have
conventional education loans with low interest rates and long-term
repayment plans.
AGENCY SOURCES
Borrowing from the Credit Union offers certain advantages. The
Northwest Federal Credit Union recently liberalized the terms for
educational loans to members.
The Educational Aid Fund (RAF) awards scholarships to
dependents of present employees and former employees. The EAF
scholarships are granted on the basis of financial need and academic
achievement. The numbers and amounts of the grants depend on the
funds available. Application is made directly to the EAF early in
the calendar year. Further information can be obtained from the
Office of the Executive Secretary, EAF, extension

The Clandestine Services offers a limited number of full
and part tuition scholarships to the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. Preference is given to dependents of Clandestine
Services career personnel. Details on the conditions attendant
to qualifying for this scholarship can be obtained from the Office
of the Chief, Technical Services Division, extension
MISCELLANEOUS
Alumni groups, church groups, corporation or business
establishments, local PTA's Veterans' organizations, labor unions,
or service clubs often have money for scholarships or to lend at,
usually, low interest rates. Some family affiliation or identification
with the group is normally required.
Many states and local governments have limited scholarship
and loan programs. Information on these sources can be obtained
from the Guidance Office of the child's high school.
We present this resume at this time so that families will have
ample time to plan and to take the necessary measures to meet
the financial problems for the 1969-1970 academic year. Employees
who would like more detailed information on any of the aid programs
mentioned are invited to call the Admissions and Information Branch,
Registrar Staff, Office of Training, extension

OFF-CAMPUS PROGRAM
1968-1969 FALL SEMESTER
Off-Campus Programs on Agency premises during the
1968 - 1969 Academic Year again will be conducted by the
Office of Training through arrangements with George Washington
University and American University. The programs enable
Agency employees to further their professional capability by
taking courses, undergraduate or graduate, at reduced rates
and under convenient conditions. These programs also provide
an opportunity for components to meet extensive requirements
for particular categories of training.
Each three credit-hour course will cost $132. All classes
will start during the week of 23 September and will continue for
15 weekly sessions. Only overt employees may participate.
A person may enroll on his own or, if the course is approved
as job-related or developmental, under, Agency sponsorship. All
instructors are Agency employees accredited by the universities.
A majority of the courses will be conducted in the Headquarters
Building.
Registration for the fall term will be in the Auditorium at
Headquarters on Tuesday, 6 August, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
A representative from George Washington University will be
2gX1A present to answer questions. American University will provide
counseling on request. Further information on the courses or
the Off-Campus Programs in general may be obtained by calling
of the OTR Registrar's office, extensiorM
It is expected that the following courses will be offered on
the days indicated. All elements of the program including the
days listed, are tentative, however.

CURRENT TRENDS
IN
MANAGEMENT TRAINING
The systems analysis approach, which has gained considerable
prominence as a form of problem solving in the technological world,
is currently being applied with some success to organizational
development (OD). Executive development and management training
programs are being redesigned to fit into the new OD framework.
The serious problems encountered in past approaches to improvement
in managerial competence have left profit-squeezed business men
predisposed to think in terms of total organization effectiveness rather
than partial programs. The Agency now has two management courses
which fit into this systems approach: The Managerial Grid and the
Advanced Management (Planning).
Why the new emphasis? The older model for executive development
which has been widely used since the pre-WW II period was built upon
an assumption that has proved to be not completely valid: recruit
professional personnel with outstanding ability and education, provide
them with the appropriate training and experience, and they will in
time develop a highly effective organization. The steps of the develop-
mental ladder of this process include the following:
1. Use psychological testing and assessment techniques
to select young trainees with executive potential. (The OSS
Assessment group - predecessor of the present Assessment and
Evaluation Staff - served as a model which was adopted by
many industries for the selection process.)
Z. Indoctrinate the junior executives in the objectives,
policies and philosophy of the organization in an in-house training
program; identification with the company image is a major
consideration. (The Career Trainee Program fulfills this
function in the Agency.)
3. Rotate the career executives into assignments in which
they can gain the experience and perspective required of top
managers.

4. Send mid-careerists and senior personnel to executive
educational programs such as those at Harvard Business School
and the Alfred P. Sloan School of Management, MIT.
Recognition has also been given to the need to develop a strong
supervisory-middle-management framework in the organization which
will implement the decisions of those who succeed in becoming top
executives. In-house training courses are often used for this purpose
as are various outside workshops and seminars given by consultant
firms or universities. (The Management Training Faculty/OTR offers
its Supervision and Management Courses several times a year to support
this objective.)
A number of shortcomings have become apparent in the above model:
1. The principles of "science-based management" taught
in education and training programs are often accepted, sometimes
enthusiastically, by trainees; however, back on the job, the
returning supervisor finds an atmosphere that is unsympathetic
to the application of new approaches. Evaluation surveys design-
ed to test the effectiveness of management/supervisory training
programs have sometimes found those who were trained became
disillusioned with the negative attitude toward new ideas found
among peers and superiors who have not had similar training.
2. Serious problems in the area of planning, communication,
and inter-group rivalry still existed in organizations even after
extensive management training of individuals.
3. Frequent loss of good professionals and failure to attract
the most suitable new university graduates are also regarded as
indicators that the executive development approach is not pro-
ducing the desired degree of organizational effectiveness.
In short, selection and development of top talent whether as junior
or senior executives does not seem to be sufficient to assure that a first-
rate organization will evolve.
Since WW II a number of behavioral scientists have been doing
research on managerial effectiveness in industry and government. Vast
amounts of systematic data have been gathered and similar conclusions
have been drawn by highly knowledgeable figures. Rensis Likert,
Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan; Chris Argyris,
Yale University the late Douglas McGregor and Edwin Schein, Sloan
School of Management, MIT; and Robert Blake, of Scientific Methods, Inc.

have each concluded that management and executive training programs
can be most effective only if conducted within the context of an
organizational development program.
What are some of the implications of this new OD model for
training managers and supervisors?
First, the principles of science-based management, which are
currently the subject matter of training, would remain essentially the
same but the method of using them would be changed. Instead of pump-
ing the input into individuals in academic-type seminars it would be
injected into entire organizational systems. The assumption is that an
organization can be viewed as a dynamically operating system within
which exists an equally dynamic human organization. The latter is
characterized by all the elements of a social system within which exists
an equally dynamic human organization. The latter is characterized
by all the elements of a social system with its unique culture, values,
attitudes, expectations, and norms. Most important are values and
views on how to solve problems and manage people. To the degree that
conflicting values exist within and between the sub-systems of the
organization, people will be working at cross purposes. Ineffectiveness
and inefficiency will be evident. Conversely, it is assumed that in an
effective organization the individuals within the system and sub-systems
will have shared attitudes on the following:
- "Superordinate" or organization-wide goals
- Goals of the sub-systems which are interrelated with
the "superordinate" goals.
- Planning and problem-solving models which include
feedback and evaluation mechanisms.
- Managerial philosophies and values which promote
maximum commitment of individuals to organizational goals,
which help individuals utilize their abilities, experience,
interests and talents.
Second, research results have led behavioral scientists to focus
their attention on the manager's ability to handle groups or teams as
well as individuals. Systems analysis indicated that human organizations
in work settings are complexes of sub-systems of inter-locking groups
and that problems such as planning, communication, and motivation to
work are closely related to the individual's group membership. Thus,
competence to handle small groups (work teams) is seen as a principal
requirement of today's executives, managers and supervisors. With
ever increasing complexity in the technological world, this is expected
to become of even greater importance.

Today's management courses and seminars reflect the new OD
perspectives. Two major approaches are found:
1. Management by Objectives - The "scientific management"
school dates back 100 years. It has traditionally dealt with
efficiency methods and techniques, such as procedures, coordination
processes, communication systems, decision making, man-machine
relationships, etc. New courses and books on the subject of
"Management for Results," and "Manage by Objectives" are presently
being read widely. The emphasis is on defining the organizational
and sub-system goals, identifying barriers to attaining the goals,
and developing alternative solutions. (This is part of the Planning,
Programming, and Budgeting Systents approach. The Agency's
Advanced Management (Planning) Seminar was designed to provide
simulated experience in using such a problem-solving model.)
Training of this type is generally done by grouping course members
into five- or seven-man training teams since the basic element in
the systems approach is the work team.
2. Team Skills Development - Here attention is directed toward
developing the human organization by improving group effectiveness.
Focus is on the individual manager's behavior in the work group.
Most management theorists accept the proposition that the manager,
to improve his effectiveness, must gain understanding of his own and
other peoples 'behavior and of small-group behavior. Many training
courses include blocks of team problems involving analysis of
perceptional distortion processes, motivation to work, and interpersonal
communications. The goal is to help the individual become generally
more objective in judging human behavior and specifically more
conscious of his own managerial style. Alternative managerial styles
are presented as models so his own can be contrasted with an ideal
type which presumably could, under the proper conditions, bring
about improved working effectiveness between the superior and his
subordinates.
A more intensive learning experience is offered managers in
sensitivity or T (Training)-Groups. (This is not being used in the
Agency.) In the T-Groups,individuals spend up to two weeks together
in an unstructured situation with "gaining insight into individual and
group behavior" as the only stated objective. How they do it through
interaction in their daily sessions is left up to their own initiative -
with a trainer standing by in case they want to involve him.
Robert Blake's Managerial Grid (Phase I) which has been used
extensively in this Agency devotes one day of a week-long seminar to
a sensitivity feedback; however, it is restricted to analysis of each

individual's managerial style by his team members. Blake's
major emphasis is upon developing the manager's team skills
and his awareness of how an individual's behavior in teams
affects others and the team's progress.
Training courses which utilize the two current approaches,
management by objectives and team skills improvement, are merely
the first phase of organization development. Ideally, this phase started
with the full participation and support of top management. It should be
"their" program; their involvement not only assures that they understand
the importance of their role but assures all levels of the hierarchy below that
"we" are improving "our" organization, top-to-bottom, as a system and
as a culture. This program can be contrasted with the older approach in
which top management hired consultants to change "those people down in
the middle-management and first-line supervision levels."
The second phase of OD involves actual on-the-job, work-team
training. The top team of a company sits down together under the
monitorship of a trainer and addresses two questions:
I. How can we improve our ability to work as an effective
team? This includes an analysis of the barriers to effectiveness.
Personality problems of the members are not excluded.
Z. What are the goals we would like to achieve in our working
relationships and in the work activities over the next six months?
These activities can get into sensitivity-type training; however,
the participants have already become predisposed to this in phase
one and the presence of a qualified monitor assures a degree of
objectivity.
After the top team completes this segment with the number one boss,
each member returns to the work group he bosses and puts them through
the same procedure. This is repeated down the hierarchy to the first
line supervisors.
A third phase is used when there are inter-group antagonisms or
conflicts. Representatives of the conflicting groups meet and address
themselves to the problems of barriers to effectiveness and what type
of a working relationship would be most meaningful to achieve "super-
ordinate" goals.
After the top management team has finished its ovni second phase,
it jumps to the primary effort in the OD process. The members address
themselves to the problem of the objectives and purposes of the organization.

If it is an industry, they ask themselves such questions as, "If we had
had the assets we have today and had to do it all over, what business
should we be in?" The end product of this prolonged search session is
a new organizational blueprint which clearly states objectives, goals,
assumptions, etc., and outlines the type of organizational structure and
processes that represent a dynamically operating system.
Meanwhile, the managerial training program of the earlier phases
has permeated the entire organization; work team skills, communications
and planning theories have been well-established. The organization is
now ready for it. Critiquing committees have sometimes been set up to
continue the new culture once it has been created. And management/
supervision training and executive development all take place within the
framework of the OD so that one part of the system is re-enforcing
another.
As visionary and idealistic as this OD approach may sound it has
already gained momentum in industry and Government. Dr. Blake's
Managerial Grid has been part of this wave and he is now finding a vast
market for his system in the U.S. and has recently branched out to
foreign countries. His is only one method and it is possible for an
organization to start its own unique program adapted to its own needs
and problems. Whatever the specific method used, OD is apt to be with
us for many years and more and more management and supervisory
training will be integrated into the systems approach. This forecast
is made increasingly more probable by the expanding population, the
high augmentation in technological invention, and by the inevitable
social and economic changes that will accompany them.

Learning is one of the major occupations of our lives. For many
of us it is a joy; for many others it is a dreary chore. An of us would
like to learn more than we do in less time than it now takes. We
would like to see the process of learning become more efficient, quicker,
and easier, so that we could emerge with far more knowledge to enjoy
our other pleasures, or at least with more time available for them.
To learn we need teachers. Books that we read and people to whom
we listen and whom we can question are the teachers most familiar to us.
People, though, may not have time to satisfy all the students who seek
their help, and a book does not respond to questions, but simply says the
same thing every time a student reads it.

What would it be like to be taught by a computer? Let us take as an
example a student who is having trouble with a physics homework problem.
He brings the problem to a computer terminal that resembles an elaborate
typewriter with special controls and signal lights. The student types
"Physics 101, problem 177." After a moment the computer prints out
"This is problem 177. What did you obtain for the frequency of the sound
wave?"
DIALOGUE WITH A COMPUTER
The student, having had difficulty with the problem from the beginning,
types "No answer." The following dialogue then takes place:
Mrs. Morgan holds a Ph. D. in physics from the University of Illinois and
taught undergraduate physics for five years at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie,
New York. During the summer of 1967 she worked with the Instructional
Resources Center at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, assist-
ing in the direction of computer programming for physics teaching at the
college level. This article originally appeared in the Vassar Alumnae
Magazine, Volume LH, Number 4, April 1967.

"That's too bad. Let's go back to the beginning of the problem. What
did you find for the wavelength of the sound wave?"
"1. 3 meters. "
"No. That is half the wavelength. The distance between the points
of minimum disturbance in a standing wave is only half the wavelength."
The student thinks he has located his difficulty now and types a code
letter meaning "give 'me the first question again." The question is
repeated and the student answers "127 cycles per second."
"That is nearly correct. You have used the velocity of sound at
0 degrees centigrade. You should have used the velocity at 20 degrees
centigrade. Try again."
The dialogue continues in this manner, the student perhaps needing
help to find the required velocity of sound. Then he can obtain the correct
answer to the first question.
This dialogue is a typical example of how a computer might assist
with a homework problem. The computer could also be used to "lecture,"
leading the student by means of questions to reason his own way to an
understanding of a new subject; or to drill, by dictating and correcting
foreign-language exercises, for example. Young children could be
drilled in such subjects as spelling or arithmetic.
". . . THE WHY AND WHEREFORE"
At many large universities no one really has enough time to discuss
assigned exercises with students, though a graduate assistant may count
correct answers and enter a number into a record book. Learning by
solving problems can be enhanced if there is a way for the student to know
exactly where he made an error, and especially if he can learn why it
was an error--that is, why an idea that hehas is incorrect.
A physics problem has a limited number of routes to its solution. The
computer can be programmed to recognize most of those routes through
recognition of key words or equations. It can then lead the student along
a correct route by means of a series of question, answer, and comment
sequences in which wrong answers are identified and explained.
The student should obtain not only a knowledge of the technique appli-
cable to the problem, but also a better understanding of the physics
involved in solving it. One can easily imagine that a student who knows
he has arrived at the correct answer largely through goodluck might
deliberately offer an incorrect answer so that the explicit comments of
the computer could reinforce his own incomplete ideas.

The technical difficulties concerning the recognition and analysis
of student responses are yielding steadily to the efforts of skilled
programmers. There are, however, pedagogical questions that can
be answered only after several cycles of trial and error; or they may
simply remain subject to individual opinion.
HOW MUCH COMMENT?
One of these questions is: How much comment and detail should be
offered or imposed? That is, how deep should an explanation go? Some
students want to know only the technique of finding the correct answer.
They could perhaps be stimulated to seek further understanding if a
limited amount of simple explanation were offered at certain points. More
highly motivated students might be inspired by elaboration of profound
ideas that would confuse or repel the former type of student. Which
students should we have in mind when we program the computer? It might
be possible to make the computer discriminate successfully between
students with different needs through analysis of their responses.
Another interesting question is: How should comments be made? In
the example given earlier, comments were printed out at the computer
terminal while the student watched and waited. How does a student react
as the typewriter produces a long text, letter by letter? There is a
tendency to let one's mind wander until the text is complete; and then to
concentrate again and read. For this reason programmers try to limit
the amount of typewritten text.
Other means of presentation are possible. The student might simply
be referred to appropriate pages in his text. A slide might be projected,
with text to be read, or a tape recording might be played. The disadvantage
of these possibilities is that the comments are not recorded on the paper
the student carries home with him.
Questions like these are exciting to ask and to try to answer.
Somewhere among the great choice of possibilities there may be a key
to helping a student assimilate the enormous amount of knowledge avail-
able in any one field.
COMPUTER CHARACTERISTICS
As the learning process becomes better understood, it will become
clear which characteristics of the computer are needed. The computer
can be infinitely patient. It can be consistent, explaining the same
concept over and over, trying different words or examples, without
making a slip. It can judge objectively, by analyzing errors, which
ideas need to be clarified; and it remains uninfluenced by the fact that
this may be the one hunred and twenty-fourth time a certain statement
has been made. It can read only what it expects to read and can answer
only questions it expects to be asked.

The computer seems to be especially suited to that part of the
teaching job which is repetitive and which should be adjusted to the
needs of the individual student. This includes drill and prolonged
discussion to illustrate fundamental concepts. For the able student,
the drill can be concise and the discussion can proceed quickly. The
slower student can be given exercises that gradually increase in
difficulty to help him develop skill in the field he is studying. Concepts
can be clarified by a carefully arranged series of illustrations, which
the student can study at his own pace.
We cannot expect the computer to be more than the professor's
assistant, however. A creative mind is needed in the classroom and
must always be available on request. The opinions and changing ideas
of individual professors are part of every student's education. In some
fields of study the classroom objective is the discovery of new ideas
rather than the analysis of old ones. The unexpected questions of a
well-prepared student lead to new growth of everyone's ideas.
The programmed computer would have little to contribute to
situations like these. It will have its greatest value in disciplines like
mathematics and physical science, in which there is a large body of
knowledge to be absorbed before a student can contribute significant
new ideas; and in disciplines like foreign languages and music, in
which drill can help develop facility in a new medium of expression.
The computer should help us become proficient in subject matter that
is already well established, and it should leave both the teacher and
the student with more time for the creative part of education.
RESEARCH IN CAI
The potential of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) has been under
study at IBM for some time. Early investigations involved the use of
a computer and a typewriter to teach binary arithmetic. At first only
one typewriter terminal was used, and instructions to the student were
given orally, by an instructor, rather than by the computer.
IBM's present concept of computer-assisted instruction has evolved
from a system developed in 1961, when experiments were performed
with a modified 650 Data Processing System and specially designed
electrical equipment that connected student stations to the computer.
IBM researchers experimented with a number of instructional techniques.
For example, they developed an experimental statistics course using
student-constructed answers rather than multiple-choice, and they
prepared courses in German and stenotyping. In addition, techniques
were explored that allowed the computer to process partially correct
answers, thereby helping students work toward complete answers to
problems.

Based on this early research, IBM computer systems for educational
use have taken on the following basic elements:
magnetic disk files, in which are stored course
materials and students records;
a central processing unit, which acts as an inter-
face between student terminals and the course materials stored
in the disk files;
a multiplexing unit, which directs messages between
the terminals and the computer;
IBM 1050 data communication terminals.
Further advances in programming techniques, systems organization,
and experimental methods for interacting with students have led to the
development of a new system designed specifically for computer-assisted
instruction. Called the IBM 1500 Instructional System, it links a computer
to as many as 32 audiovisual student stations. The system includes such
advanced techniques as time sharing and the use of electronic "light pens,"
with which students can respond by pointing to information displayed on
television-like viewing screens. Student stations can project color or
black-and-white slides, and they can play prerecorded sound messages.
A student can compose his responses by typing on a keyboard, as well
as by using the light pen. The system can process the responses and
select appropriate material for subsequent presentation. If necessary,
for example, a problem can be restated in a simplified manner, or the
student can be provided with review and practice material. Each course
unfolds at a pace and in a manner determined by the student's ability,
regardless of the progress made by other students using the system.
A printer under the computer's control can print out data on each
student's performance. Using this data, the teacher can analyze the
progress of students for the purpose of improving course materials and
offering individual guidance. The recording of performance data also
facilitates research on instructional techniques, and indeed on the learning
process itself.
DDS&T/Office of Computer Services has already made a moderate
beginning by adapting equipment on hand to employ training programs in
a CAI effort. Demonstration programs have been developed employing
the typewriter print-out technique, a combination typewriter and cathode
ray tube. As time goes on,appropriate personnel will be trained in the
development of additional programs for use with computer equipment
toward the day when weitoo,can make use of this new technology in im-
proving our capacities to perform.

CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
TRAINING STATISTICS FY 67
Under the provisions of the Government Employees Training
Act of 1958 and specifically as assigned under Executive Order 11348,
the Civil Service Commission is charged with collecting and
reporting data on U. S. Government Agencies training activities.
Beginning with Fiscal Year 1967 the report was substantially
expanded and resulted in the study "Employee Training in the
Federal Service, FY 1967." The report focuses on "formal
classroom training of eight hours or more and in some categories
training of shorter duration." "Informal or on-the-job training,
although the most widely used and often the most effective training
method for improving job performance, is not included. . . because
of the difficulty in separating such training from the normal
supervisor-employee relationships." The following excerpts and
statistics were cullod from this interesting work. Of the 1,008,780
participants from 56 Agencies, 80% received Agency training, 5%
received interagency training and 15% received non-government
training. Men constituted 79% of the participants and women 21%.
Technical or "how to" training, designed to improve employee skills
was received by 45% of the participants, supervisory or management
training by 18%, professional or scientific training by 11% and a
variety of training, the remaining 26%. Some 5,029 Agency personnel
were engaged full time in training activities; 1,730 Employee
Development Officers (Training Officers in the CIA usage), 2,005
Instructors and 1,294 clerical and support personnel. The annual
salaries of these full-time training personnelwereover 45 million
dollars."
The study invited users to examine their own programs to
determine (inter alias:
How does the proportion of the Agency employees receiving
training compare with other Agencies, does the Agency make a
frequent review of its training activities, needs and results; do all
employees of the organization have an equal opportunity to partici-
pate in appropriate training programs (and) are some types of
training being overemphasized at the expense of others?
Of the 56 Departments and Agencies represented (NSA and CIA
were excluded), the Army lead the rest numerically with 204,599

and the Post Office led the civilian agencies with 75, 323.
Interestingly, NASA with a total of 32,629 had 24, 907 involved
in non-government training, second only to Navy with 27,765.
Management training comprised 18% of those receiving
training; of this 77% was provided within the Agencies, 9% was
provided inter-Agency and 14% by non-government facilities. To
quote "the use of non-government resources was due in part to the
growing need for highly specialized training in supervisory and
management skills and to the continuing interest by Agencies in
the findings of management and organization research conducted
by Universities and Colleges. Again Agencies find it profitable
to expose their supervisors and managers to the personalities
and philosophies found in non-government facilities in order to
prevent inbreeding and staleness and to aid in maintaining a
Federal service that is dynamic and up to date. '' Of the non-govern-
ment training 17% was supervisory or management as opposed to
35% of inter-Agency training. The largest category of non-
government training, 32% was professional or scientific.
Women received 21% of all training but constituted 27% of the
working force. This was explained by the larger proportion of
women in the secretary, stenographer and typist category who are
hired already relatively well trained. They constituted 22% of those
who received Agency training, 24% of inter-government training
and only 16% of those in non-government courses. Most Agencies
reported an increase over past years in women participating in
training.
Twelve Agencies sponsored a total of 102 off-campus centers in
cooperation with 63 Universities and Colleges with approximately
18,731 employees participating. The Navy was the leader here with
26 off-campus centers cooperating with 34 schools and 6, 000
students (almost 1/3 of the government total).
Long term non-government training is defined as training of
more than 120 days duration. Usually it consists of full time
academic study in residence at a College or University. In FY 1967
a total of 1, 042 employees from 26 Agencies participated in this
type of training, an increase of 30% over FY 1966. Some 4% were
trained overseas. The average training days was 198; the GS average
level was GS-12. Only 6% were women. Engineering provided
34% of the total with Physical Scientists having 24%; 14% was
supervisory or managerial. The Department of the Army with 234
led all the Agencies in this type of training. Some 2 million dollars
was spent. Of this 67% was for tuition, books, etc. and 33% was for
per diem and transportation.

It is also interesting to note that only nine Agencies spent
more for external training than CIA, 49 spent less, our nearest
competitor (at $742,000) was the Veterns Administration. Short
term non-government accounts for $27.7 million. A significant
amount of this is "after hours training at Colleges or Universities"
and tuition is 66% of the total. This contrasts with $2.75 million
for long term non-government training, of which 50% is for tuition.
The reporting Agencies were able to cite "numerous examples
of tangible dollar savings and productivity increases as well as the
less tangible but crucial gains in such factors as employee motivation
and morale."
The study commented that . . . "it was not feasible to collect
data on expenditures for Agency training in FY 1967 since there is
no uniform method of recording or reporting this cost data. It
should also be stressed that student numbers alone are not neces sari-
ally meaningful since the actual man days involved could vary
significantly. CIA comparisons are even more complicated because
of the decentralized system of providing training. Known and
comparable items such as the size of the training establishment,
funds expended for external training, etc. clearly establish CIA as
a leader in training. This is as true of quality as of quantity. While
this can in part be related to the often unique skills in which the Agency
must provide training, it is at least equally related to the favorable
policy and attitudinal environment which training enjoys in this
Agency.
