Employment
Training Panel California State Funding for Training ETP Mission
Statement
The Employment Training Panel is a significant
economic development tool for business attraction and business
retention. ETP will work in partnership with business, labor and
government to provide funds for training California's workforce in the
skills necessary for businesses to remain viable and compete in the
global economy, while providing workers with reasonable wages and secure
employment.

The ETP funding is performance based. In
general, the ETP has three levels of reimbursement:
- The ETP will reimburse your company per employee per hour for any
classroom or laboratory training that is provided by an out-sourced training provider
(subcontracted vendor).
- The ETP will reimburse your company per employee per hour for any
classroom or laboratory training that is provided internally, instructed by company
personnel.
- The ETP will reimburse your company per employee per hour for
certain kinds of computer-based training (CBT).

About the ETP
A division of the California Employment Development Department (EDD),
the ETP was established in 1982 by the California legislature. The ETP
disperses funds that are mandated by the California State Legislature
and specifically targeted for companies to increase their efficiency and
lower costs to meet the pressure of competition from out-of-state
companies.
One tenth of one percent of the first $7,000 income per employee
collected from California unemployment insurance taxes goes to fund the
Employment Training Fund (approximately $60 million to $100 million per year). The
State Legislature is determined to maintain a viable economic climate by
encouraging businesses to adapt to a high performance workplace.
