ETPL POLICY AND PROCEDURES ATTACHMENT 1 WSD21-03 Page 8 of 21 G. CA ETPL Initial Eligibility Training Provider Initial Eligibility Criteria Initial eligibility applies to providers previously not listed on the CA ETPL under the WIOA or the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA). The initial eligibility period is one year (365 days). The Local ETPL Coordinator is responsible for reviewing the training provider’s initial eligibility prior to nominating for inclusion on the CA ETPL. The following institution types are eligible for inclusion on the CA ETPL: 1. Adult education secondary schools, as long as the activities are provided in combination with occupational skills training. 2. Pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship providers. 3. Private postsecondary institutions. 4. Public postsecondary institutions. The initial eligibility process for each for the training provider types listed above is based on the following: 1. Adult Education Secondary Schools Training providers must be an eligible provider of adult education and literacy activities under Title II of WIOA. Adult education and/or literacy activities must be offered concurrently, or in combination with, occupational skills training. A list of Title II providers can be found on the California Department of Education (CDE) website. 2. Pre-apprenticeship and Apprenticeship Providers a. Pre-apprenticeship Provider Training providers must have a letter of commitment from a DOL registered or DIR DAS approved apprenticeship program. To be listed on the CA ETPL, the pre-apprenticeship program must award an industry-recognized credential or certificate. The state will not enter information on pre-apprenticeship training programs; this information will be entered by Local Boards, if necessary. Pre-apprenticeship programs are considered Individualized Career Services under WIOA, and thus are not required to be on the ETPL. Pre-apprenticeship programs that do not result in an industry-recognized credential or certificate cannot be listed on the ETPL; however, those pre-apprenticeship programs that do provide an industry-recognized certificate or credential can be listed on the ETPL and used in conjunction with an ITA. The California Workforce Development Board (State Board) and each Local Board must ensure that federal WIOA funds awarded for pre-apprenticeship training in the building and construction trades fund programs and services that follow the Multi-Craft Core Curriculum (MC3) implemented by the CDE and that develop a plan to help increase the representation of women in those trades. WIOA prohibits Title I funds from being used for “construction, purchase of facilities or buildings, or other capital expenditures for improvements to land or buildings except with EXHIBIT 2
