25X1A9a
In the wake of his having attended a human relations
training laboratory in Bethel, Maine, in the summer of 1959,
received an announcement this week of a new
course to be offered to "persons with responsibilities in the
management of training and personnel development programs."
The unique feature of this course is that it will provide
consultative services, during a period of at least a year, to
help each trainee apply to his job the insights which he gains
during 20 days of more formal training. The course is planned
to begin this December and to continue until December 1962.
