1 Welcome to the CTE Data Unlocked Funding and Technical Assistance application. This application is due on June 1, The Chancellor's Office is providing funding and technical assistance to strengthen your college s ability to find, understand, and use CTE data. While this is a noncompetitive application, resources must be utilized to integrate data into college processes and support evidence based decision making for CTE programs. There are four sections of the application: Eligibility, Current Data Usage, Technical Assistance, and Funding. The first section addresses whether your college is eligible for funding and technical assistance, based on attending introductory training (note: you can still fill out an application even if you haven't yet met the training requirement). The second section will give the Chancellor's Office a better understanding of the types of data your college is currently accessing, to better tailor technical assistance. For the Technical Assistance and Funding sections, you will be asked how you would like to focus your resources within several general areas. Please keep in mind that you can pool funding and technical assistance resources with other colleges to create larger, joint projects.
