RE: SURVEY OF INDUSTRY TRAINING/CONTINUING EDUCATION RESOURCE
NEEDS
______________________________________________________________________________
As you may know, the Institute offers a variety of generic training and continuing education
resources that members may use as part of their own programs. The attached list briefly
describes these resources (for more detailed information, please request the Institutes Catalog of
Training Materials for Financial Industry Professionals by calling 202/326-5866).
As part of our planning for the Institutes 1998 fiscal year, we are conducting our annual
assessment of industry training needs. The purpose of this assessment is to determine whether
there is a need for additional programs that would assist members in meeting the requirements
of the Securities Industry Continuing Education Program. As part of this process, we would
appreciate your suggestions for any new materials you feel would be useful to your continuing
education and training efforts. Please have the appropriate person(s) at your firm complete
the attached response form at return it to me at the Institute by October 17, 1997.
You will see on the response form that, in addition to your own suggestions, we are also asking
for your level of interest in several projects that already have been suggested by members of the
Institutes Continuing Education and Training Advisory Committee. In addition, we would like
to know whether your firm has access to the Internet for training purposes, as we are exploring
the possibility of making several of our courses available via the World Wide Web.
If you have any questions or comments, please call me at 202/326-5869, or contact me via
electronic mail at brown@ici.org.
