final report should make clear in what per-
aoiffiel situations its reccnmerdations are
applicable.
Question (f) Can the Group decide which training should be on-the-job
and which should be formal courses?
AGREED THAT: Offices should in each case determine,9
preferably based on recommendations by
division and branch chiefs, whether on-the-
job training ar formal training is more
appropriate. The guiding principle should
be first to consider,, when; specific need
for improvement is apparents whether it is
not possible for the training needed to - be
obtained on the job,-and then to have recourse
to other farm only when on-the-job training
is judged inadequate. Generally speaking,
if the purpose of the training is to impart
a. body of knowledge or specific skills, it
'best be accaplished by instruction;.
mqy but if its purpose is to develop the ability
to handle a particular Job or to increase
wisdom acquired through experiences it my
best be accomplished by on-the-job training,
ifter such preliminary instruction as ii
appropriateq
Question (g) Can the Group decide which training should be extra-CIA
