First 5 San Joaquin County - Technical Assistance (TA)
Is there an issue - something unique to your agency or staff - that your project needs help with? First 5 San Joaquin has a limited number of technical assistance hours available for programs. Read below for more information on requesting TA and downloadable request forms.
Q: What is Technical Assistance?
A: TA provides an opportunity to work with a consultant to meet a unique need of your agency. This TA is above and beyond TA provided by First 5 staff. The consultant will work with the program coordinator and/or staff on a particular service or administrative challenge. The consultant may help with systems and policies, or possibly deliver a training that is specific to your needs. You might meet with a consultant once or over time. TA may be provided face-to-face, via e-mail, telephone, and/or fax.
Q: How do I request technical assistance?
A: Fill out the TA Request Form on the reverse side and describe what kind of assistance you need, how it fits with your FIRST 5 project goals, and what you would like the outcome of technical assistance to be. The more specific you can be the more helpful a consultant can be. If you know of a particular consultant that you would like to work with, please include their name and contact information on the form. You may also request First 5 San Joaquin to identify a consultant. Fax the completed form to your Program Assistant at First 5 San Joaquin (209) 468-8917.
Q: What happens after I send in my request?
A: Each request will be reviewed by the staff at First 5 San Joaquin. Your Project Officer will let you know if the request has been approved. There are limited technical assistance resources, so it is possible that not all requests will be approved. Once the request has been approved, the staff at First 5 San Joaquin will forward your request to our technical assistance contractor, the Center for Heath Training (CHT). Someone from the Center for Health Training (CHT) will contact you to learn more about your request and match you with a consultant that can work with you.
