NEW COURSES PROPOSED FOR FY 1986
o Contract Process Course. This course was identified
in the DS&T needs survey as a priority effort. The DS&T has
provided a contractor to develop the course. We are having
difficulty in getting a DS&T experienced course director who
has contract experience. The course is tentatively scheduled
for a 2-13 December 1985 running.
o Program Management and Budget. This course was
identified in the DS&T needs survey as a priority effort. We
are waiting for the promised GS-14 rotatee from the DS&T to
conduct this course.
o S&T Analysis. This course was identified in the DS&T
needs survey.. We have not identified people to develop and run
the course and may need to drop it from our plan.
o Managing the New DS&T Employee. This course was
identified in the DS&T needs survey. We have not identified
people to develop and run the course and may need to drop it
from our plan or transfer it to MATD.
o Executive Development in the DS&T. This course was
identified in the DS&T needs survey. We have not identified
people to develop and run the course and may need to drop it
from our plan or transfer it elsewhere.
Professional Development Branch (PDB)
o AIAPS (Agency Issues: Applied Problem Solving). In
response to need originally raised by DS&T PDB
plans to explore market demand for an organizationally focused
course that would meet needs of:
a. those who will not have the opportunity to attend
MCC.
b. those senior grade EOD's the DS&T brings on board
for whom ITCIA is too elementary and MCC too
advanced
c. those individuals transitioning from narrow areas
of responsibility to those requiring greater
knowledge of, and ability to work across
organizational boundaries.
Basic interviews will be conducted in September and October
and a firmer recommendation for the Curriculum Committee will
be possible once this initial spade work is accomplished.

NEW COURSES PROPOSED FOR FY 1986
o A heads-up on the Agency for the vast, untrained group of
wage grade employees in Logs as well as for those technical
types returning to DC after tours abroad. Would like for these
programs to be component based, conducted in cooperation with
PDB so that we might avoid the earlier problems of a "CIA Today
and Tomorrow". Again, we have not begun the initial surveys or
interviews on this possibility.
o As an outgrowth of recommendations from a number of
Midcareer students, we would like to look into the feasibility
of designing a short career planning seminar which would look
at the generic kinds of organizational information, personal
information, and planning skills needed to most effectively
utilize the available Agency mechanisms for career planning and
management. Substantively such a course would include personal
career assessment (NOT general personality instruments) an
overview of internal and external training opportunities,
coverage of the peculiarities of the various career management
systems in the Agency, and some study of the culture and norms
involved in a long term career in CIA. If the Curriculum
Committee approves exploring this concept we would like to do
so both through our student population, as well as through the
Directorate training officers, career planning staffs, and
senior management.
