California's Local Technical Assistance Program

To become your one-stop shop for training and support, our team is building a comprehensive catalog of local agency training that covers everything from staff professional development to hands-on technical/engineering courses to regulatory and contract compliance. From this one catalog (and accompanying calendar), you’re able to register for courses offered in-person, onsite, and online across multiple providers.

We’re also bringing a new focus to California innovation by sharing on-the-job ingenuity and best practices captured from agencies across the state. Solutions to help get your job done easier and more efficiently.
