systematically train young Micronesians who have high potential for
administrative posts. By the end of
fiscal year 1968, six Micronesians had
successfully completed the program
and were assigned to management
positions in Resources and Develop-
ment, Budget and Finance, and Per-
sonnel Administration at Headquarters
and in the district centers. Seventeen
interns are expected to complete training during fiscal 1969.
Efforts to improve the quality and
scope of on-the-job training continue,
with special emphasis on personnel
policies, industrial safety, heavy
equipment maintenance and usage,
and other skilled and semi-skilled areas.
The Administration also gives employees the opportunity to train in
their specialized fields at the East-West
Center in Hawaii, through South
Pacific Commission courses, and elsewhere. During FY 1968, nearly 150
employees attended refresher courses
or specialized training courses in
medical and para-medical fields, clereducation, agriculture,
skills,

radio
accounting,
administration,
broadcasting, health, sanitation, land
management, home economics, crim-
inology, and in skilled trades such as
automobile mechanics.
The Summer Student Employment
Program for about 50 high school
juniors and seniors began at Headquarters and in the districts in June
1968. Students were productive
employees in office clerical, public
works and supply areas. A 40-hour
general orientation was followed by
on-the-job instruction by the supervisors.
In all districts, Micronesians are in
administrative and professional jobs
and are increasing their knowledge and
