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. T e revised CTP as 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. r('y9{i' f~~F,~A Approved For Release 2008/12/19: CIA-RDP96-00289R000200020017-8  Approved For Release 2008/12/19: CIA-RDP96-00289R000200020017-8 5. 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 tr fining program s o 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 0 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.

In response to the Office of Training Program Call, the Office of the Comptror has tentatively reduced the number of trainee slots to l efor FY 1979; this action would seriously jeopardize the continuance of the CT Program. 25X1 ILLEGIB a7y . -,r e l - Revised Career.

The present .Career Training Program (CTP) can be adapted, through adjustments to the current Program to. changing Agency requirements.- 2.. The adjustments to the Program are based on the following assumptions:- a. DDO participation will continue. for the short term: on the basis of externally recruited 25X1 trainees for FY 1978 and FY 1979. b. DDI requirements will remain at-approximately the current level. c. The DDA and DDS&T will utilize the CTP as the prime means of accomplishing in-depth orientation to the Agency for a modest number of carefully selected junior professionals. d. The CTP will remain small and highly selective and will continue to supplement, but not replace, direct hiring. Candidates will normally be between 23 and 33 years-of age, with exceptions made on a case-by-case basis.- ' 25X1 _ 3. The revised Program will be -structured according to the ollowing-considerations: a. Objective The Program will provide outstanding young professionals-rwhether recruited. externally or internally-- with -a solid understanding of how. the Agency -works and interacts. with'the Intelligence Community. b. Means The Program will give in-depth-orientation by means of training courses and on-the-job work assignments. This approach presumes participation by and introduction to all' -directorates during the "classroom" part of the cycle.-. It requires the directorates' full and willing participation during the work assignment phase as well. Approved For Release 2008/12/19: CIA-RDP96-00289R000200020017-8  ? Approved For Release 2008/12/19: CIA-RDP96-00289R000200020017-8 The amount. of skills, interpersonal and conceptual training, apart from the Operations Course for DDO trainees, will be limited. Interim on-the-job assign- ments will be tailored to maximize both the trainees' orientation to appropriate directorates and the benefits to the participating offices. C. Selection Final selection of DDO and DDI trainees will continue to be made by CTP consultation with directorate representatives. Selectees for these two directorates will consist primarily of external candidates.- DDA and DDS4T trainees will consist primarily of internal candidates who will be nominated to the Program by the directorates. Selection in all cases will require a judgment by the Chief, CTP, that the young professional has*the potential to become a senior manager in his field within the Agency and is capable'of becoming an intel- ligence officer with the scope and-breadth of capability implied in that term. Internal candidates will be selected from the directorates' nominees who have served in the Agency a sufficient time'to have developed a commitment to a career in their respective career services. The inclusion into CTP of qualified minority applicants will remain a top priority. d. ' Fre uency, Duration; Size Two programs a year will be run starting in January and June of each year. Training for the DDO- bound CTs will continue to be approximately a year in length;'the program for DDI, DDA, and DDS&T trainees will be approximately' nine months. _ -25X1 Individual classes will consist of approxi- mately candidates for each directorate and will total ` approximately per class.' 25X1 Approved For Release 2008/12/19: CIA-RDP96-00289R000200020017-8  Approved For Release 2008/12/19: CIA-RDP96-1{00289R000200020017-8 e. Content The formal training portion of the current Program will be adjusted to'add orientation devoted to the functions of the DDA and DDSVIT. The increased overview encompassing information about all the directorates will provide the necessary familiarity to the whole Agency to all trainees. The revised CTP will continue to incorporate. two interim assignments to provide on-the-job training which will be characterized by flexibility and adapta- tion to the needs and prospective career path of each trainee. the DDS&T training officer to insure that the optimum assignment is arranged. component. CXP will coordinate these assignments with both produce and learn while working outside his "home" handled in a fashion similar to.DDA-bound CTs in order to attain the widest possible exposure to DDS&T func- tions within the competence of the young officer to of the directorate will be arranged. The interims of DDS&T candidates will be serve an interim in each of these directorates; this pattern will continue. DDA- and DDS&T-bound officers will have their interim assignments tailored to their needs and will be assigned intra-directorate and/or inter-directorate interims as appropriate.
