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.

And to make sure you stay informed, we’re also rolling out:

We’ll be unlocking new features and capabilities over the next couple of weeks, so consider subscribing to stay up on the latest developments. And if you have a request or feature you’d like to see, let us know!
