Funded Training - ETP

The Employment Training Panel (ETP) is a California state agency designed to fund training to meet the needs of employers for skilled workers and the need of workers for good, long-term jobs. The program is provided to California employers for their employees and funds up to 100% of the cost for training at approved schools.
