The Employment Training Panel (ETP), is a business- and labor-supported state agency that funds job skills training to provide workers with jobs that have good pay potential and long-term usefulness.
Monies in the Employment Training Fund are provided by one tenth of 1% of unemployment insurance wages paid by every private, for-profit employer in the state as well as some non-profits, amounting to no more than $7.00 per covered employee per year.
Other important aspects of the ETP Program are:
- Employers match training funds awarded by ETP for training existing workers, making these projects true public-private partnerships;
- ETP funds training for unemployed workers; and,
- The Small Business Program, administered by ETP, targets small businesses that do not have the resources or flexibility to train skilled workers on their own, and would like to contract with ETP for their services.
