JUST WHAT IS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE?
Technical assistance is the provision of individual or small group focused, hands on support for a specific issue or topic. This support can be provided through a telephone call, provision of resources, an on-site visit, a support group meeting at the resource center, or support provided by a CCCRC trainer after a training session is completed. Many people refer to technical assistance as mentoring or coaching. CCCRC currently provides free technical
