Support to States

DATE, in collaboration with contractors at MPR Associates, Inc., offers customized technical assistance to states on Perkins accountability issues. Up to eight states are selected each year to receive technical assistance through a competitive application process. States are invited to apply each Fall. Summaries of each state's visit is provided by clicking on the map below.

To assist states in improving the quality of their Career and Technical Education accountability systems, OVAE invited state directors of career and technical education to submit requests for individualized technical assistance.
