Deane, Jr., Commanding General U. S. Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command -5001 Ei senhower-Avenue ... ...- - - Alexandria, Virginia 22333 LM100674 Dear General Deane: We have made a limited study of the use of traininq, including specialized training, provided through formal courses to civilian employees of Headquarters, U. S. Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command (DARCOM). This study was made under GAO assignment code 962074. We made similar studies at four civil Government agencies in the Washington, D.C., area. We interviewed a selected sample of 27 civilian employees, representative of headquarters personnel who received training during calendar jear 1975 to determine the extent is or may be used on the Job, and to identify the cause and effect of substantial nonutilization. We also interviewed training officials and obtained data from them regarding procedures for insuring utilization of training. Although DARCOM was reorganizing and reducing its force, responses of personnel interviewed generally were not affected. Althougn most employees use part of their training on the job, there are instances of little or no utilization. Headquarters training officials said that additional efforts will be made, within current manpower limitations of the training staff, to assure greater use of training. The following information may be of value to you in considering the need for more emphasis on use of training received by civilian employees. BACKGROUND The Government Employees Training P . (5 U.S.C. 4101(4)) and the Federal Personnel Manual require that training directly relate to performance of official duties. The Manual states that each agency must establish administrative controls to insure that training improves performance and contributes to economy, efficiency, and effectiveness
