  • This differs somewhat from the data presented by Training which indicate that 23% of the training done nationally is for front-line supervisors, middle managers, senior managers, and executives. See Froiland, Paul. "Who's Getting Trained?" Training 30, 10 (October 1993): 54.

  • Examples of nontraining job titles filled by training personnel included EDP ProgrammerIAnalyst, Disability Staff Development Specialist, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Personnel Officer I-IV, Psychiatric Nurse, Geriatric Nursing Supervisor, Information Processing Specialist, and Section Manager, among others.
  • Filipczak notes the training industry is estimated to have grown to $48 billion in 1993 with training staff salaries representing 72% ($34.9 billion), outside expenditures being 20% ($9.4 billion) and facilities overhead being 8% or ($4 billion). Filipczak, Bob. "Training Budgets Boom," Training 30, 10 (October 1993): 37-47. It is reasonable to expect that the public sector commands at least 11.8% of the training staff salaries, given the size of the public sector.
  • For example, it seems reasonable to expect that the Department of Defense expends an unusually high percentage of its budget on training since development and job rotation are a strong part of its culture.
