Training and Technical Assistance
We offer a wide variety of technical skills to meet individual requests. The requests may include something as general as facilitating a meeting between data and program staff on a specific issue or as detailed as offering technical assistance on the initial running of a syntax. Each request is considered at a basic level of need and elevated to meet complex requirements.
Technical Assistance may involve one consultant or a combination of team members. Needs may be addressed through a quick phone call or developed long term with numerous site visits. TA is designed with the requesting State and in various levels of collaboration with the Regional Office. Each TA is uniquely designed in partnership with the State.
Training smay be offered in a one on one situation as a part of a group gathering. Consultants are also invited to various meetings and conferences to present on a broad range of topics including CFSR Composites, Data Sharing, SACWIS, and others.
