Training Financial Assistance
What is the Employment Training Panel?
The Employment Training Panel (ETP) is a joint business-labor state agency that provides funding to help California employers train workers in the skills they need to stay competitive. It supports small, mid-sized, and large businesses through two types of contracts:
- Multiple-Employer Contracts (MECs)
- Single-Employer Contracts
ETP funding is designed to:
- Retain and motivate existing workers
- Support internal HR and training systems
- Keep staff up to date on technologies
- Ensure quality control

How Does It Work?
ETP offers flexibility in training design, allowing employers to choose their curriculum and training method, such as: classroom-based instruction, online training, and On-The-Job training.
- Employers are reimbursed only after training is completed and workers are retained
- The performance period spans 21 months
- Employers must show:
- Training hours were completed
- Training goals were met
- Trainees are still employed 90+ days after training at a qualifying wage
