ETPL POLICY AND PROCEDURES ATTACHMENT 2 <br /> 3. Hands-on, meaningful learning activities that are connected to education and training <br /> activities, such as exploring career options, and understanding how the skills acquired <br /> through coursework can be applied toward a future career. <br /> 4. A partnership with one or more apprenticeship programs that assists in placing <br /> individuals who complete the pre-apprenticeship program in an apprenticeship <br /> program. <br /> 5. Opportunities to attain at least one industry-recognized credential through an <br /> apprenticeship program. <br /> Secondary School Diploma or Recognized Equivalent—CA-recognized diplomas issued by a CA <br /> public school, as well as by private schools accredited by the Western Association of Schools <br /> and Colleges (WASC) or equivalent regional accreditation body. The requirements of a <br /> secondary school diploma are outlined by the California Department of Education (CDE) and <br /> listed on CDE's High School Graduation Requirements webpage. <br /> A secondary school equivalency certification indicates that a student has completed the <br /> requirements for a high school education. CA has approved the use of three high school <br /> equivalency tests (HSET): GED®, HiSET®, and TASCT". These tests are for students 18 years old <br /> and older, and 17 years old (in some instances). Those who pass the CA High School Proficiency <br /> Examination are awarded a Certificate of Proficiency by the CA State Board of Education. While <br /> some HSET preparation programs may issue "diplomas or certificates" of completion these <br /> documents are not genuine high school equivalency credentials. There are various free HSET <br /> preparation programs available for free through the CA Adult Education Provider Directory. <br /> Third-Party Subcontracting—a program where course instruction and curriculum is not <br /> developed by the provider, and instead is created and delivered by a third party. Per <br /> Attachment 1 of the directive, the provider accepting tuition and related instruction fees (e.g. <br /> ITA) must be the provider listed on the ETPL. <br /> Third-party subcontractors cannot accept WIOA funding without meeting ETPL eligibility <br /> requirements, and being placed on the ETPL.
