24.0. "Training Needs" by DEMON::GOVONI () Mon Sep 25 1995 15:38

Hello,

Pat Baker's capability center, NSCC, has a committee working on the group's
training needs.  The training team, headed by Evelyn McKay, has put together 
this Q2 training calendar.

Since other capability centers face some, or all, of the same training issues, 
I'm posting this calendar to let everyone know what is available.  Some courses
and materials are generally available to anyone.  Other courses, due to
time and resource constraints, might not be available to anyone external to 
NSCC.  These particular courses are taught by subject matter experts who 
also have their own projects. 

Regards,
bob

PS - Before sending any questions to me, I am not a member of this committee
and probably could not answer them.

		  identify and/or acquire training interventions to support each
		  of the areas listed.
