Information submitted by candidates for training programs is reviewed initially by OCRTME administrative staff to establish eligibility for participation. Eligible candidates are then referred to the designated training program director/administrator or training program selection committee for review and decisions regarding acceptance for participation. Upon acceptance, OCRTME will collect required eligibility documents for respective training programs. A secondary objective of the application process is to track enrollment in training programs over time.
