Item#7: EligibleTrainingProviderList(ETPL)INFORMATIONITEM–NOACTIONREQUIREDIn Program Year 15/16, SDWP invested $3,610,268 for 732 American Job Center (AJCC)participantstoattendclassroom-basedtrainingprogramsacrossthecountythroughIndividualTrainingAccounts(ITAs).Participants going through the job centers work with career coaches to identify their skills,interests,abilities,studygrowingcareers intheregion,andselecttrainingprogramsfromtheEligibleTrainingProviderList(ETPL).Thisprocessforselectingandfundingtrainingprogramsisoutlined in the federalWIOA legislation and in State of California EmploymentDevelopmentDepartmentguidance.AsSDWPcontinuestoimplementboththeletterandthespiritofWIOA,staffhavebeenanalyzingdifferentapproachestoadministeringthesefundstobetteralignwithlocalneeds,prioritiesandassets.WithinthecontextofSDWPandthecommunitycollegesystem’sjointregionalplan,andafterintegratingfinancialandtrainingoutcomedata,SDWPstaffareexploringanewapproachtoETPLadministration.CurrentstateSDWP’s current ETPL policy, guided by federal and state regulatory oversight, requires thatprovidersmeetthefollowingelementstogetonandstayontheETPL:

• Institution must be recognized by an accrediting agency (i.e. Western Association ofSchoolsandColleges(WASC),AccreditingCouncilforContinuingEducationandTraining(ACCET),andotherDOEgroups).

• MostschoolsorinstitutionsapplyingforinclusionontheETPLmustpossess“approvaltooperate” or exemption status from the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education(BPPE). Notable exceptions include public schools or institutions, such as communitycolleges, state-approved apprenticeships or school districts — these only need anaccreditation.

• Institutionsmusttrainforjobsthatareconsideredin-demandorhigherin-demandbasedonresearchbySDWP.

• Institutionmusthaveandmaintaina64%“EnteredEmployment”rateforparticipantsineach program – that is, 64% of studentsmust be working six months after programcompletion.Brandnewprogramshave18monthstomeetthisrequirement.

These standards reflect the state guidelines. However, local boards have the opportunity tocreateadditionallocalpolicytobestalignETPLinvestmentswithlocalneedsandpriorities.

ProposedchangesSDWPhasconductedarecentreviewofourexistingprovidersandisexploringwaystoensurethat all providers on the ETPL are equipped tomeet the needs of our local population. Keyadditionalguidancebeingconsideredincludes:
