The Employment Training Panel (ETP) is a funding agency established in 1982 by the California State Legislature. It provides financial assistance to employers for training programs that enhance the skills of their workforce, leading to long-term, well-paying jobs. ETP is governed by a tripartite structure, with representatives from business, unions, and the state government, and it is funded through a special payroll tax paid by California employers.
As a funding agency, ETP does not directly provide training but supports businesses in identifying their training needs and implementing appropriate programs. ETP staff is available to assist employers in applying for funds and navigating the participation process. The panel also holds meetings to discuss funding priorities, review proposals, and ensure effective utilization of resources. Through its initiatives, such as the Agriculture Initiative, ETP aims to allocate funding strategically to industries in need of skilled workers.
