-9- as observing those women who do a good job and take their work seriously and who thereby merit, in many cases, some executive training. It was pointed out that this is a subject in which employers have a great interest at the moment and are anxious for information on what other companies are doing. It was thought that many employers would "follow the leader, if their attention were directed to effective policies and practices in this area. 1 : MIAMI 14. One conferee speculated on the possibility of using the device of the armed services to assure a return on a training investment, namely "x" years of service for "x" years of training. It was pointed out that to a certain extent industry does employ this device. Social agencies or educational institutions, for example, will grant a leave of absence if an employee wishes to undertake additional training. It was said, however, that in these cases the training must be paid for by the individual and so it is only job tenure: which is given in return. It was agreed that, if industry were to adopt such a policy, the contracts would probably not be enforceable. The moral commitment on the part of the individual, however, would be a very strong one, similar to that now involved in the Rockefeller Awards, Ford Fellowships, trade union scholarships, etc.
