Please read the following before applying:

• Training programs on the ETP List are approved to provide training to individuals who qualify for: an Individual Training Account voucher funded by Title I-B of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA); or additional weeks of unemployment insurance benefits through the Washington State Training Benefits Program; or Trade Adjustment Assistance.
• All providers of occupational training, with training locations in Washington state, can apply to the List. 
• Training providers located outside Washington are not listed on the Washington State Eligible Training Provider List. To be considered as WIA-eligible in Washington state, out of state training programs must be on the ETP List in the state in which they are located.
• Private career schools, unless exempt, must be  licensed by the State in accordance with RCW 28C.10 , before an application to the ETP List can be approved. Information about licensing is available from the Workforce Board.
• Inclusion on the ETP List does not guarantee that funds are available for enrollment in an eligible program. The availability of funding is dependent on many factors. For more information on funding and individual eligibility, contact a WorkSource Center in your local area.
