Approved For Release 2008/12/19 : CIA-RDP96-00289R000200020017-8 @ UGidt sna bbs @ 6 July 1977 MEMORANDUM FOR: Associate Deputy Director for Administration FROM : 25X1 SUBJECT : Career Training for DDA Personnel REFERENCE : OTR 77-7484 dtd 24 June 1977 1. It is recommended that the Directorate of Administration utilize the Career Training Program (CTP), as outlined in reference (with some possible schedule revisions to accommodate DDA Trainees), and that an internal DDA Training Program be established. 2. By utilizing the CTP, the major items agreed upon at the recent Office Directors meeting, concerning the utilization of a CTP, will be accomplished. This is particularly true in respect to the Office Directors agreement on the need for a program, as well as it being exclusively an internal program for the DDA Trainees. 3. <The revised CTP,Jas outlined in reference, would be reserve DDA officers who would be nominated by their Offices after they had been on board for 2/3 years and proven, through their performances, to be good candidates for future senior management positions not only in their respective Offices, but also throughout the Directorate. 4, It is further recommended that a Directorate of Administration Training Program (DATP) be established. This will provide Directorate-wide Training for selected DDA Officers upon their entry-on-duty, or as soon thereafter as practical. This broad Directorate training program should be presented to the new DDA Officers prior to the commencing of their Office sponsored training programs (POT, LOT, SOT, etc.). Attached is a proposed DATP course schedule which should be conducted twice per year to thoroughly cover all of the DDA Office requirements. 25X11 IAP TAETD topes ania GR Bla §g S CON; fee i: Med a gs.

To summarize, it is recommended that the DDA Offices participate in the CTP, as outlined, in the reference (with appropriate changes) » and also that a DDA internal training program sho established. The DDA CTP candidates would be officers who have been on board for 2/3 years, and will more than likely have been graduates of the DATP. In this manner, approximately internal DDA officers will attend the CTP annually, and by establishing the DATP, approximately new DDA Officers per year will also receive broad DDA Orientation and training. The DATP will not only better prepare those who will eventually be selected for the CTP, but will also give the large majority of new officers entering the DDA, an initial broad exposure to all of the Office specialties. 6. I believe that OTR is in the best position to be responsible for the operation and management of the DATP. However, a DDA officer should be assigned to OTR to aid in the establishment of a schedule, as well as to act as a counselor and focal point for the DDA students while they are in training. 7. The above recommendations are broad, and the scheduling details will have to be worked out between OTR and the various DDA Offices, particularly in regard to the course dates of the DATP.
