TRAININGS AND WEBINARS

Technical Assistance is a term used in Public Health to describe topic specific guidance tailored to the needs of our UIOs by coupling the use of innovative technology to facilitate capacity building of organizations. NCUIH’s Technical Assistance and Research Center (TARC) provides webinars and trainings to various audiences working with the urban American Indians/Alaska Native (AI/AN) population.

NCUIH strongly believes that providing customized and culturally sound capacity building & knowledge tools is essential to foster and trigger changes necessary to advance our community in the optimal direction.
