Special Training Dates

Individual trainings may occasionally be offered for specific grant recipient types.  These trainings focus on the different reporting nuances that vary by grant and will be recorded and posted on our website:

• Using the Program Activity Levels (PALs) Report Template

• Using the NEW Job Training (JT) Grant Quarterly Report Template

  • This training is designed for JT Grant recipients and project officers, with consultants for grant recipients also welcome to attend. Team ACRES will guide participants through the new JT Quarterly Report Template, anticipated to be available in ACRES by the end of December. This comprehensive template includes everything required for submitting quarterly performance reports in accordance with grant Terms and Conditions, ensuring compliance and streamlining the process.  When this template is used, completion of JT Form in ACRES will no longer be required, offering a more efficient and consistent reporting method. The training session will be recorded and made available on our website, providing easy access for future reference.
