Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL)

Program Overview

The purpose of the Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) is to provide customer-focused employment training for eligible adults and dislocated workers through Individual Training Accounts (ITAs) and Apprenticeship Training Accounts (ATAs). All training providers included on San Diego’s ETPL are eligible to receive funding through Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funds.

If you are a job seeker looking to enroll in a training on this list, please contact your career agent/case manager for assistance.

The San Diego ETPL used by the ITA/ATA programs is just one training mechanism available under WIOA. For more information on employer-focused training programs such as Customized Training, On-the-Job Training or Expanded Subsidized Employment, please contact our business services team.
