TRAINING DIVISION

In an attempt to achieve a more methodical approach
to training activities, a formal training policy objective
has been published: "To offer training opportunities to
local persons to prepare them for appointment to the Civil
Service and to encourage existing staff to obtain or
develop the knowledge, skills and attitude they need to
make their most effective contribution to the Service."

The Training Division is now engaged on a two-year
survey to identify training needs throughout the Service
and to help departments prepare comprehensive training
policies and plans.
