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.

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.
