A survey of Equal Employment Opportunity (1EO) training
provideJ at Region IV, Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare (HEW), focused on kinds of training, selection of
participants, and evaluation of results. Findings/Conclusions:
Two categories of training were proded: skills and
orientation. Skills training was provided for indiwiduals
directly involved in EZO programs. Orientation courses, designed
to provide knowledge of legal and policy requirements, provided
for managerial and supervisory personnel. Because attendance was
based largely on an individual's availability rather than need,
less than 10%, of 1,799 individuals designated for training in
F! 1977, attended courses. Some part-time 330 principals were
found to lack formal trairing and all lacked background in
personnel administration. Full-time principals had more adequate
background or training. Some supervisors did not receive 330
training, because it was not included in their supervisory
course. Data on training from the management information system
was incomplete and inaccurate. Although training at Region IV
was available, regional coordination and control was lacking,
and reaults were not properly evaluated. Recommendations:
Procedures should be developed to identify persons requiring
training, establish an annual schedule, provide for record
maintenance, and evaluate training impact. (MTW)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobabmkw0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
