Trainings for the Urban Land Reform Information System are given by the staff of The Providence Plan. Specifically, trainings provide users with an overview of data and indicators, how to use and understand data, and the definitions and limitations of specific data items. It also highlights how users can use the Property Search Tool to track trends in their neighborhood and use this information strategically in their work toward improving neighborhoods.

A better understanding of the information available through this project will enhance user ability to select, interpret, and present data for use in policy-making, fund raising, grant writing, economic development activities, and advocacy.

Trainings can be tailored to a variety of participants and skill levels, and adapted to fit specific goals and interests. Throughout this past year, the ProvPlan has provided training to non-profit groups, funders, city agencies, and several others. ProvPlan staff are available to conduct customized training on an as-needed basis. Contact Amy Pettine for more information.
