TRAINING IN THE PEONNEL POOL
In January 1952, O/TR took over the responsibility for training in the Personnel
Pool for support-clerical personnel EOD'd on a provisionally cleared basis. An
unclassified training program in shorthand, typing, office practice, English usage,
and geography was established. Much of the training in the Pool was remedial,
to bring support clerical personnel up to acceptable standards of proficiency
in the various clerical skills.
Now, because of a recruitment policy directive to the effect that only
support-clerical personnel meeting prescribed Agency standards of proficiency
in typing and shorthand will be recruited; and because of a modification of the
basic objective of the Pool -- to maintain a constant reserve of 0 support- 25X1
clerical personnel in order to compensate speedily for clerical attrition
in the Agency; the personnel pool will contain only qualified personnel both
provisionally and fully cleared.
All of these personnel will take a training course of at least two weeks
duration, at least part of which will be conducted on a classified basis. And
satisfactory completion of the training program is necessary for placement within
the Agency. At present the planning and implementation of this training program
is under way.

A!JtINISTRATIVE TRAINING PROGRAM
Purpose of Programs To provide additional adequately trained professional level
administrative officer personnel to meet increasing operational requirements of
the Agency. Therefore to provide training for newly recruited personnel for this
project and to provide specialized training for administrative officers presently
on duty in order to increase their capacity to perform under the accelerated
operational program.
Status: O/TR, in conjunction with the Office of Organization and Management and
the General Services Division, has-devised a means for approaching the admin-
istrative training problem. At the present time plans are under way for a series
of conferences led by senior Agency level administrative officers (i.e., the
Comptroller, the Director of Personnel, the Chief of Administrative Services and
the Chief of Procurement). These conferences will be attended by the senior
administrative officer for each of the Offices of the Agency, with his budget
officer, personnel officer and supply officer. The conferences will explore those
administrative problems which have the most serious effect upon the administration
of the Agency at the agency level. Such a series of conferences will result in an
identification of those problems which require resolution by simple procedural
adjustments and those in which training is required. The Office of Training will
then be in.a position to design and put into effect training programs to meet the
requirements for training indicated by these conferences.
