TRADE Technical Support

Student Assessment
Students may perform at different levels and progress at their

own pace, depending upon ability, achievement, and learning goals. 

Upon entering the RBD workforce development program a

one-on-one assessment is performed. Technical Assistance Activity is

limited to adult participants enrolled in the workforce development

trainings that lead to licensure or certification that is directly related to

various businesses and trades, i.e. construction, HVAC, or other trades.

This “trades certification support (TCS)” is limited to the current or proposed

employees of identified existing or emerging rural small businesses that meet

eligibility requirements for the Rural Business Development Grant program.
