MEMORANDUM

TO:		Designated Agency Ethics Officials

FROM:		Carolyn W. Chapman
		Associate Director, Education Division

SUBJECT:	Employee Ethics Training


The U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) is pleased to announce its development of 
a series of instructor-led training courses for executive branch employees.  The 
interactive programs are designed to increase employees’ knowledge of ethical and 
unethical behavior, and give them an opportunity to practice making ethical decisions.  
The course materials consist of an instructor guide and a participant guide.  The programs 
also include an evaluation instrument that can be used to assess the extent to which 
agency employees learned, and can apply the concepts taught during training.
        
You may obtain a copy of the first course, Initial Ethics Orientation: What Does Ethics 
Mean to You?, by contacting Gwendolyn Cannon-Jenkins at gcannon@oge.gov or (202)
