INTRODUCTION
The Interagency Training Programs Bulletin is one of four publica-tions designed to provide agencies information on available trainingresources. The others are the Quarterly Calendar of InteragencyTraining Programs (formerly issued on a monthly basis), the AgencyTraining ,Centers for Federal Employees and the Off-Campus StudyCenters for Federal Employees brochures.
This bulletin, resource document number one, is intended primarilyfor clientele in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and containsinformation on interagency training programs available almost ex-clusively in this locale during fiscal year 1971. (The Commission's 10regional offices each publish separate bulletins and calendars for use byagency field installations. Regional office addresses, telephonenumbers,and areas of jurisdiction are given on pages v and vii.) Within thisbulletin, courses are separated into three groups: Open interagencytraining, limited interagency training, and new courses planned. Opencourses are those which have no restriction on attendance other thanqualification prerequisites. This section contains course descriptions,admission requirements, nomination procedures, and cost data Limitedcourses are those designed primarily for the agency's own employeesbut offered to other agencies on a space available basis. A list of coursesand a contact point are provided in this section. The new course.,planned section announces courses which agencies plan to developduring the year. This section is designed to encourage interagency co-operation to sponsor mutually beneficial training for Federalemployee&
The second resource document, the Quarterly Calendar, is publishedonly four times during each fiscal year. Within the calendars, the in-formation is divided into two parts. The first lists course dates, nomina-tion deadlines, course titles, and page numbers of the bulletin wheredetailed information about each course may be found. The second partprovides course information in abbreviated bulletin-format for thoseprograms developed after the prime document has been printed.
The third document, Agency Training Centers for Federal Em-ployees, is a compilation of separate facilities established by agenciesto conduct special agency-oriented training primarily for their ownemployees; however, other agencies may participate in the programson a space-available basis. The publication describes each center, lists
ttt
courses offered and admission requirements, and provides a contactpoint for further information. This document is intended as a guidefor further interagency cooperation to meet mutual training needs.
Finally, the Off-Campus Study Centers for Federal Employeesdocument lists facilities which have been established through coopera-tive arrangements between colleges or universities and Federal agenciesto sponsor continuing education opportunities for Government em-ployees. This publication also describes each center, lists courses offered,admission requirements and provides a contact for further informa-tion. It is intended to encourage more university-Federal agency co-operation to meet present and future educational needs.
The brochures on Agency Training Centers and Off-Campus StudyCenters are published only by the Commission's central office but avail-able for use by both agency headquarters and field installations.
The Washington, D.C. bulletin and center brochures are updatedannually in the spring and placed on sale at the Government PrintingOffice after a courtesy distribution to training officers and directors ofpersonnel is made. The Commission's regional bulletins are updatedin June or July each year.
