How to search the Eligible Training Provider List

You may search the list by geographic area, training provider or program of training. To change your search options or start a new search, hit the “Back” button on your browser’s top toolbar or the “Home” button at the left of each screen.

Searching by Geographic Region
This option takes you to a map of Washington State that is divided into regions called Workforce Development Areas.  To see which counties are located within each Workforce Development Area, move your mouse over the map and a list of counties in that area will appear.

To select the geographic region, either click on a location on the map or choose from the drop-down list of Workforce Development Areas below the map. For the region that you are interested in, you have a choice to search by training provider or training program. Hitting the "Go" button will give you a list of providers or generic program titles from which to choose.

Searching by Training Provider
To determine what eligible programs are offered by a specific training provider, choose the training provider from the list that will display when you click on "Search by Training Provider", and click the "Go" button. You will then see the list of all eligible training programs that the training provider offers. Some program titles are very long and do not display completely in this list. To be certain that a program is on the list, select a program and click "Go" to display the detailed program information. To find out about another program offered at the chosen school, hit your browser’s “Back” button to return to the list of programs and choose a different program.

Searching by Training Program
When searching for a program of training, you can either:

1. type in a keyword to narrow your search to programs or jobs you are interested in, or,
2. choose from a list of all eligible training programs.

Keywords can be a job title, a career or an area of study you are interested in. Keywords can be all or part of a program title and they are not case-sensitive. For example, to locate programs that train nurses, try typing “NURS” into the Keyword box. This should bring up all programs with the word “Nurse” or “Nursing” in the title. When you enter a keyword and then press “List Programs Matching This Keyword”, the list below will contain a list of programs related to the keyword. If you do not enter a keyword, the list of programs will include all eligible training programs. Choose a program title from this list to see the detailed program information.

Searching by Training Program and Geographic Region
If you are searching for a training program, after you choose a program you are interested in, you can narrow your search to a specific geographic region. When you make this selection, you will see a map of Washington State that is divided into regions called Workforce Development Areas. Also displayed are maps of Idaho and Oregon which link to the Eligible Training Provider lists for those states. To see which counties are located within each Workforce Development Area, move your mouse over the map and a list of counties in that area will appear. Click on the location you are interested in and you will see a list of all schools in that area that offer the program that you chose when you began your search. Not all programs are offered in every region. If you click on an area of the map where there are no eligible training providers offering your chosen program, you will see a message telling you so.

How to Choose a Program of Training

Eligible individuals may select any program in any Washington State Workforce Development Area. (To determine student eligibility for training assistance, visit your local WorkSource Center.) They can also choose a program from any other state's eligible training provider list, including Oregon and Idaho , subject to the approval of the local Workforce Development Council.

For additional information about programs on this list, such as student characteristics, enrollment, and employment and earnings of past students, go to Job Training Results .

Inclusion of a program on the States’ Eligible Training Provider List does not constitute endorsement, recommendation or favoring by the State of Washington. Prospective students are encouraged to do their own research on a training provider before deciding to enroll.
