Accessing Technical Assistance

Directory of Facilities Assistance Providers

This tool allows users to search for technical assistance providers that may be relevant to their school and facilities project. Technical assistance is non-financial help provided by local or international specialists. It can take the form of sharing information and expertise, instruction, skills training, transmission of working knowledge, and consulting services and may also involve the transfer of technical data. Use the selection options on the left side to specify the type of support you are interested, entity sector (if relevant), and your geography. Profile selections for “Indian Country” indicate whether research on the entity showed past experience supporting schools/projects in tribal areas.
