Master Agreement with Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) Vocational Schools May 2, 2023 Page 2 3 3 9 9 Adopting the ETPL will serve as an important tool for participants seeking training to identify all relevant information including training in high demand occupations. Training providers are typically vocational schools that include private trade schools, local community colleges, and non-profit organizations. WORK Center staff will work with area schools to enter into an agreement with the city in order to receive student referrals (Exhibit 2). The average amount of each training voucher issued ranges between $5,000 and $7,000. Based on annual grant awards, staff is projecting that 100-130 individuals will have the training costs covered annually. The Orange County Social Services Vocational Training grant, funded through the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) Act of 1997, provides funding for the basic needs of families with children. An important component of CalWORKs allows for the provision of employment services for parents. Head of households are provided job-training services to help families upgrade job skills with the ultimate goal of self-sufficiency. WORK Center staff provide guidance, academic assessment, support, and motivation to CalWORKs participants that seek training. Using either WIOA funding or Social Services grant funding, job seekers, recently laid off, and/or low-income adults who meet grant requirements, are provided a voucher to attend a vocational school on the ETPL.
