Dear Hal,
As I mentioned to Jim last week and to you yesterday, I am exploring the
possibility of having people continue in the training program.
Two key items
of information I need are: The content and a description of the training
and its cost.
The Jan 82 memo that Jim provided me included a description of the content
of stage 1. It was extremely helpful in getting started. Similar information
about the following stages especially stage 3 would help answer some questions
now being posed e.g., Where does this fit into a training program? What
does this training consist of? How long does it take? How much is class-
room lecture vs practical exercise? What is required of the student during
the training? What criteria will be used to judge the student's performance?
What is the measure of training success?
As to cost information, the money this year is nowhere near that available
in previous years. In coming up with a FY 83 bare bones budget, I used the
costs forcast in the FY 82 mid-year review to cover possible FY 83 training.
I am concerned that that amount may now only cover a single stage. For
my planning, what are current training costs? What if a student completes
a training stage sooner or extends beyond the projected time? Also if a
second student starts in a lower stage, how would that be handled?
I anticipate the answers to these questions will provide me the information
necessary to obtain a favorable decision on future training. If there is
any thing else that you wish to add, please do so. Hoping to hear from
you soon.
Sincerely,
R. Joachim
