CARAT Online Webinars - new Calendar



CARAT created a resource of course offerings, training materials and websites offered by affiliated organizations for small businesses and technical assistance providers in California and throughout the U.S. From 2007 to 2009, CARAT conducted two pilot Technical Assistance Capacity Building Program (TACP)® trainings. TACP® is CARAT’s signature program.
