OF INFORMATION COLLECTION:
Technical Assistance Program Seminar Customer Feedback Survey
PURPOSE:
EEOC has a statutory mandate under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to provide technical assistance and training on the laws it enforces, see 42 U.S.C. §2000e-4(j), and offers training programs through the EEOC Training Institute to keep the public informed of the latest developments in equal employment opportunity law. These training and technical assistance seminars are vital to eliminating unlawful discrimination in the workplace and, to ensure that the programs are effective, EEOC needs feedback from participants. One such program is the series of Technical Assistance Program Seminars offered annually. These one-day or two-day courses cover a range of equal employment opportunity issues, including the latest updates on EEO laws and tips on preventing discrimination in the workplace, and are geared toward human resource staff, business owners, managers, supervisors, state and local government officials, federal agency EEO staff, employment agency staff, union officials, attorneys, and anyone else interested in EEO issues. At the conclusion of each course, EEOC seeks feedback from participants on the effectiveness of the presentation.
We note that the attached survey will be altered slightly for each program to reflect the names of the sessions offered at each seminar.
