Bottom line
- The checklist tells an employer if it can get ETP funding to train its workers.
- ETP funds training for employers that pay the state UI or Employment Training (ETT) tax, for trainees in California. Individuals who look for work cannot apply. Information technology is on the list of industries that can get funding.
Background
ETP is a state panel that funds job training. The checklist is a short yes or no form. It has eight questions and two lists of industries, eligible and not eligible.
Key claims
- “Are you an individual looking for work? If yes, you are not eligible for ETP funding.” (question 1)
- “Do the employees you wish to train reside outside California? If yes, you are not eligible for ETP funding.” (question 2)
- “Does your company pay into the California Unemployment Insurance (UI)/Employment Training (ETT) Tax? If yes, you may be eligible for ETP funding.” (question 5)
- “Will trainees be employed full time (35 hours per week) for 90 days post-training? If yes, you may be eligible for ETP funding.” (question 6)
- The list of industries that “may be eligible for ETP funding” includes “Information Technology Systems”, “Technical Services”, “Manufacturing/Food Production” and “Biotechnology”. (industry lists)
Evidence and method
A form. It states eligibility rules. It gives no amounts, rates or numbers of trainees.
Limits
The checklist does not give funding amounts for each trainee or how ETP selects contracts. Its date is not stated, and it names COVID-era plans, so it can be out of date. The Markdown copy breaks the table layout of the PDF. Read the original for the exact layout.
