The Employment Training Panel is a California state agency within the Education Administration Programs sector, founded in 1982 and based in Sacramento. It assists employers by reimbursing the costs of employer-driven training for incumbent workers and by funding training that helps unemployed workers re-enter the workforce. The program works with a diverse set of contracting partners, including private-for-profit employers, certain non-profit organizations, Chambers of Commerce, Trade Associations, Joint Apprenticeship Training Committees, Economic Development Corporations, Community Colleges, Workforce Investment Boards, and WIOA-funded entities. ETP targets programs that address traditionally underserved groups, including small businesses, veterans, and at-risk youth, and also funds apprenticeship training, career technical education, and advanced manufacturing. The agency enables employers to design their own training, with the goal of ensuring California businesses have access to skilled workers needed for their operations.
