Get specialized training for your workers: 

The Employment Training Panel program (ETP) offers contracts to eligible companies to offset the cost of retraining your current employees. The program aims to ensure that companies operating in California remain competitive and is designed to lessen the need for layoffs.

NEW!  NOVA partnership with California Workforce Association to fund ETP training:

• For-profit employers are eligible (except retail and other strictly local service companies)
• Most types of formal training are allowable to advance your employees' skills
• Training may range from a minimum of 24 hours to a maximum of approximately 200 hours
• Trainees must be employed at least 35 hours per week and earn at least $15.70 per hour (cash wage plus health benefits)
• Trainees must remain on the job for 90 days after completing training in order for company to receive training reimbursement

Interested employers must complete a Certification Statement and return it to NOVA. For questions and for further information, please contact NOVA's Employer Services staff. Click here for an overview of the Employment Training Panel.
