~ New! Afternoon session will focus solely on Category 2 ~<\/p>\n
For those of you who are new to E-rate or want a refresher, the Pennsylvania Department of Education is again sponsoring three in-person E-rate trainings being held in various regions of the state.<\/p>\n
Important note:<\/strong>\u00a0 This year’s workshops will differ from prior years in that the morning will deal solely with beginners issues (E-rate rules, application process), and applying for Category 1 services (telecom\/Internet).\u00a0 The afternoon session will focus solely on Category 2 (internal connections) so that if you only need Category 2 training, you can just come for the afternoon session.\u00a0 The schedule for the day is as follows:<\/p>\n Morning Session \u2013 E-rate for Beginners\/Category 1<\/strong><\/p>\n Check-in will begin at 8:30 a.m.<\/p>\n Training: 9 \u2013 noon<\/p>\n Lunch<\/strong>: noon \u2013 12:30<\/p>\n Afternoon Session \u2013 Category 2<\/strong><\/p>\n Training: 12:30 \u2013 3:30<\/p>\n Each training is identical and lunch will be provided if you would like to attend both sessions.\u00a0 Seating is limited to 2 attendees from each school or library (unless you contact me in advance), and you must register to attend (see below).\u00a0 The workshops are free, but a $50 cancellation fee will apply for cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice. \u00a0\u00a0Please register as soon as possible so we know how many training materials and lunches to order.<\/p>\n If you are new to the E-rate program, please be sure that you are set up as a User in your school or library\u2019s EPC account and have successfully logged in prior to training.\u00a0 If you are unsure how to do this, please contact me!<\/p>\n Please note:\u00a0 There will be separate E-rate webinar trainings announced soon for returning E-rate applicants as well as other issue-specific webinars.<\/p>\n WORKSHOP REGISTRATION:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1)\u00a0 Carbon Lehigh Intermediate Unit 21 (Allentown\/Lehigh Area):\u00a0 Monday, October 1<\/strong><\/p>\n Registration:\u00a0 https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/Fall2018_IU21<\/a><\/p>\n Address of Training Location:\u00a0 4210 Independence Dr, Schnecksville, PA 18078<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a02<\/strong>)\u00a0 Capital Area Intermediate Unit 15 (Harrisburg area):\u00a0 Wednesday, October 24<\/strong><\/p>\n Registration:\u00a0 \u00a0https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/Fall2018_IU15<\/a><\/p>\n Address of Training Location:\u00a0 55 Miller Street, Summerdale, PA 17025<\/p>\n 3)\u00a0 Appalachia Intermediate Unit 8 (Altoona Area):\u00a0 Wednesday, October 3 If you have any questions, please let me know.\u00a0 I look forward to seeing you this fall!<\/p>\n — Julie<\/p>\n Julie Tritt Schell<\/p>\n PA E-rate Coordinator<\/p>\n 717-730-7133 – o<\/p>\n 717-730-9060 – f<\/p>\n
