New York (State). Dept. of Civil Service. Personnel Services Division. Training Section.

In 1947 Governor Dewey established a Sponsoring Committee of the Public Administration Training Program to develop job training and academic programs designed to produce capable administrators.

The programs developed and their beginning dates were the Albany Graduate Program in Public Administration (1947), Public Administration Internship Program (1947), State Employee Trainee Program (1950), and Partial Tuition Reimbursement Plan (1954). The Training Division (after 1954 the Training Section, Personnel Services Division) of the Department of Civil Service administered the intern, trainee, and tuition reimbursement programs, with policy guidance from an advisory Subcommittee appointed by the Sponsoring Committee. The graduate program was operated jointly by Syracuse and New York Universities. The Sponsoring Committee and its programs were phased out or reconstituted in a different form during the late 1960's.
