ETA's Office of Grants and Contract Management will be conducting an in-depth training opportunity for financial and administrative professionals from January 26 - 30, 2004 in New Orleans, LA. Participants will learn the fiscal principles and practices pertaining to the One-Stop system and other ETA-funded grant programs. This training is designed for those workforce system professionals with day-to-day responsibilities for financial or accounting operations. Non-financial staff are welcome to register. However, they may find some sessions overly technical if they have never been exposed to financial management issues.
There is no registration fee for this training. Registration is by fax or mail only. Participants are responsible for their own travel arrangements. Complete logistical details can be found on the following links: pdf or Word.
