PILOT TEST A one day pilot training session will be held in Crystal City, Virginia, on September 30. This office will be contacting you shortly concerning the identification of pilot test participants. TRAINING The training schedule, and geographic areas covered are as fol- lows: Regions Covered Location Date I, II & III Washington, DC area Oct. 19 - Oct. 22, 1993 V Chicago, IL Nov. 2 - Nov. 5, 1993 VI & VII Houston, TX Nov. 16 - Nov. 19, 1993 IX & X San Diego, CA Nov. 30 - Dec. 3, 1993 IV & VIII Atlanta, GA Dec. 7 - Dec. 10, 1993 Each of the five three-and-a-half day training courses is sched- uled to start on Tuesday morning and end Friday at noon. At each training site we would like to schedule a meeting on Monday evening between Regional Office participants and DTI, the contractor who is developing the training, in order to identify procurement con- cerns specific to the attending Regions. Due to the quick turn around on training development and delivery, DTI is having problems locating hotels that can accommodate the one hundred or so participants that are expected at each site. Should this result in any changes in locale we will let the Regions know immediately. Attached is a listing of State and SDA training slot allocations for each Region. The slot distribution was based on the number of SDAs in each Region. In addition to these, each Regional Office will also be allowed to send four staff to the training. Please have each State solicit the State JTPA agency and the SDAs for nominees based on your Region's allocation to each State. Final nominations will be made by each Regional Administrator. We ask that State level administrative entity staff be limited to no more than two per State, in order to allow for a larger SDA participation. Since there are fewer slots available than there are SDAs, we ask that representatives from "priority need" SDAs be selected for this training. Our goal is to limit the size of each training session in order to accommodate small group discussion. Currently, only 87 slots have been allocated to the San Diego training site. If Regions indicate that the number of slots are insufficient to meet the needs of the States and SDAs, we will be able to accommodate approximately 13 additional State/SDA participants at the San Diego site on a first nominated, first enrolled basis. The proposed list of Regional Office, State and SDA attendees should be submitted to Patricia Wilkinson by c.o.b. October 6, 1993. Ms. Wilkinson's address is: Office of Grants And Contract Management; DAA/Governor's Grant Unit; 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room S-4203; Washington, D.C. 20210. Please use the attached nomination information form or format in compiling and submitting your attendee list.
