ETP Funding

About ETP Funding

The California state Employment Training Panel (ETP) is a business and labor supported state agency that assists employers by providing funds to off-set the costs of job skills training necessary to maintain high-performance workplaces.

The ETP funding program is entirely funded by the Employment Training Tax paid by California employers and collected alongside the Unemployment Insurance (UI) tax.

The program is performance-based, providing funds for trainees who successfully complete training and are retained in well-paying jobs for a specific period of time.

Employer Eligibility


To be eligible for funding reimbursement, employers have to:

  • Be subject to the Unemployment Insurance (UI) tax and the Employment Training Tax
  • Have one or more full-time employees (working a minimum of 35 hours per week)

If you are unsure about your eligibility, InTech Center will help you locate your California Employer Account Number (CEAN) to confirm your eligibility.
