Employee Training and Retention Services

Employment Training Panel (ETP) Program

The CONNECT! Business Service Center provides information, and administrative and staff support for companies who retrain existing employees, or provide training for new hires, under the State's Employment Training Panel (ETP) program. This program, which offsets the cost of retraining employees, is designed to prevent layoffs and ultimately aims to ensure global competitiveness for companies maintaining operations within California. Our services include:

  • Guiding companies through the initial paperwork involved; facilitating the process by establishing the contacts
  • Administering the project; maintaining documentation, working as consultants, on-site assistance, if necessary

For more information on the Employment Training Panel program, contact NOVA @ The CONNECT! Business Service Center, (408) 730-7830, or view the ETP's website at www.etp.ca.gov.
