ETPL POLICY AND PROCEDURES <br />ATTACHMENT 2 <br />Training Program —A program of training services is one or more courses or classes, or a <br />structured regimen that provides the WIOA training services, and leads to any of the following: <br />1. An industry -recognized certificate or certification, a certificate of completion of a <br />registered apprenticeship, a license recognized by the State or the Federal government, <br />an associate or baccalaureate degree. <br />2. A secondary school diploma or its equivalent. <br />3. Employment (see definition for Training Program that leads to Employment). <br />4. Measurable skill gains. <br />Due the federal reporting requirements of the ETP Report, if a program is offered with more <br />than one mode of delivery (e.g. online and in -person), more than one program length (e.g, <br />contact hours and/or weeks), and/or more than one curriculum, the program needs to be <br />entered once for each different variation. For example, if program A is offered online, and in - <br />person, the program needs to be entered twice: (1) for the online program, and (2) for the in - <br />person program. <br />Training Program that leads to Employment —An eligible ETPL program must prepare graduates <br />for a specific occupation related to the training that was provided. This means that programs <br />must award measurable technical skills, rather than general skills that are broadly required for <br />employment. These measurable technical or industry/occupational skills generally are based on <br />standards developed or endorsed by employers or industry associations. <br />The training program must be valuable to employers, as evidenced by partnerships with <br />business within priority industry sectors as identified in the State or Local Plan. Support of the <br />training program from at least three separate employers are required to be eligible, and <br />documentation of this support should be uploaded into the provider profile. <br />In addition, graduates of the program must be employed in an occupation related to the <br />training program. Training -related employment can be recorded for WIOA graduates in the <br />follow-up ribbon of the WIOA application. <br />Unsubsidized Employment— Employment in the private or public sector where the employer <br />does not receive a subsidy from public funds to offset all or part of the wages and costs of <br />employing the individual. <br />WSD21-03 Page 5 of 5 <br />
