FIVE YEAR GOALS
FISCAL YEARS 1985 - 1989
A. OTE's curriculum must be responsive to Agency needs
and be offered by knowledgeable people using good training
methods. OTE will take the initiative in assisting
Directorates and Components in defining their training needs
and in assuring that the courses are kept current and
abreast of change. OTE will focus efforts towards the
following major areas:
1) Implementation of an Agency-wide CT program
2) Development of a training program for the DS&T
3) Implementation of a secretarial/administrative
support personnel training program
B. By the end of Fiscal Year 1988, OTE will have a
functioning Computer Based Education (CBE) system which uses
the Agency's existing terminal network to deliver courseware
Agency-wide. This CBT system will initially provide foreign
language skills courseware and will then be expanded to
include ADP and management skills courseware, as well as
other subject areas determined to be feasible.
C. An OTE-wide Management Information System (MIS)
will be developed which will provide rapid responses to
requests for information on OTE courses. Such information
will include: classroom utilization, student registrations,
instructor utilization, enrollment projections, test scores,
and Language Incentive Program participation. The system
will interface with the existing Agency Training System
(ATS). The MIS will provide timely information upon which
OTE management can base decisions as well as improve the
query response capability for Agency Training Officers.
D. OTE must remain flexible and responsive in
providing timely training for users of the Agency computer
and word processing systems. In order to most effectively
utilize equipment and instructor resources, a variety of
instructional methods will be employed by FY 89 to deliver
this training. A formal mechanism will be created to
include OTE in the design phase of new software and system
developments. This will allow for the early determination
of training requirements and the shifting of OTE resources
in an orderly manner.

E. As an integral part of OTE's career management and
development plan, intra-directorate rotational assignments
will continue to receive increased emphasis. The
assignments selected should enhance individual skills as
well as provide a sharper focus to OTE curriculum. An
office-wide implementation of the competency based career
system will begin in FY 85.
F. Priority will be placed upon obtaining the
resources necessary to prevent the further deterioration of
OTE's physical assets. Of primary concern will be necessary
Additional emphasis will be placed on
attention will be focused on ensuring that the equipment
currently owned by OTE will be utilized in the most
effective and efficient manner.

PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS
FISCAL YEAR 1985
1. Classroom and conferencing space, both in the
Headquarters area (including Chamber of Commerce) and at the
will be a continuing constraint. The
classroom currently available in the Ames Building will be
available throughout Fiscal Year 1985 for specialized data
processing training. Classroom 713 will be reconfigured for ADP
training.
2. A modest increase in personnel resources is expected in
FY 85.
3. The new communications equipment room will be fully
operational in FY 85. This will enable OTE to begin to meet some
of the backlogged ADP requirements in both administrative and
training areas.
4. OTE will continue to experience a growth in the number
of students accommodated via both internal and external training
requirements. This is due partially to an ever increasing
emphasis on skills development as well as to a reduced ability to
hire employees with the required skills. The demand for training
in computer and word processing skills will contribute to these
training requirements at an increasing rate.
5. OTE will continue to place an emphasis on the increased
use of office automation to handle administrative needs as well
as to meet the requirements for classroom materials.
6. There will continue to be difficulty satisfying the
Career Trainee (CT) recruitment goals due to changes in the
economy and the limits on the salary and benefits we can offer.
7. Funding will continue to be received via the ORD DCI
enhancement package in order to continue the development and
research on CBT
8. Instructors will be available on rotation from the DS&T
to supplement the Intelligence Training Staff in their DS&T
training effort.

9. There will be an increased interest in conducting
training that meets component specific needs.
10. Funding commitments from other Directorates for the
specialized programs being developed (CT and DS&T) will be
received.
11. The positions and funds available to OTE via the
Expanded Training New Initiative in the FY 85 budget will not be
cut any further.
