Abstract: The report of responses to the state self-assessment will support periodic reviews conducted by ETA’s Regional and National Office staff for purposes of oversight and monitoring as well as providing technical assistance. It enables ETA to assess the state’s activities and its administrative compliance with Federal law. The information gathered from the self-assessments will enable ETA Regional Office staff to work with the state to identify areas where performance improvements are needed. The results will be used to inform ETA’s technical assistance efforts nationally and with individual states, and will enable a more robust and effective collection and dissemination of state best practices.
