A Fiscal Year 1968 report is made on employee training in the Federal service. The first section describes purposes of training (staff utilization, improved public service, occupational flexibility, and others) and resulting benefits. Part II summarizes the extent of participation in specific agencies, sources of training (internal, interagency, and nongovernmental), types of training, participation from trades and labor, general schedule, and other pay systems, the number and proportion of men and women trained, and numbers and total annual salaries of full time and part time training personnel. Part III covers such special interest areas as planned staffing and development in personnel management (including projections of needs, the sources and duration of formal programs, and types and methods of training); describes agency programs to equip employees to work with state and local government; and describes companion volumes to this publication. Appendixes list interagency courses and subject areas, interagency programs proposed for 1969, and long-term nongovernment facilities. (ly)
