October 2006 ETP List to be upgraded this year. The ETP List website is currently under redevelopment. Our goal is to make the site easier to use and more secure. We welcome your feedback as we plan website improvements. Tell us what you think! Performance Review results in ETP List changes. Student data from all training programs on the ETP List as of June 30, 2006 were analyzed for program completion and employment and earnings of graduates. Training programs that did not pass performance review this year and are not in appeal status were removed from the ETP List as of October 9, 2006. In addition, some training programs that passed performance review this year, but were off the list last year due to poor performance, were reinstated to the ETP List. Go to the Job Training Results website to see latest the performance results for ETP List training programs. (10/9/06) March 2006 The Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board adopts revised ETP List performance standards.   Every June, training programs on the state ETP list undergo a performance review by the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board (WTECB). In this review, the WTECB uses data provided by training providers to determine whether or not programs meet standards for program completion rate, and employment and earnings of former participants.  Training programs have to meet these standards in order to be on the Washington State Eligible Training Provider List for the next program year (July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007). For more information about data reporting, see "Eligible Training Provider Data Reporting ." Each year, the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board, on behalf of the Governor, reviews and updates the policy, called "The Governor's Procedure for Determining Training Provider Eligibility " (PDF), outlining the ETP List performance criteria and methodology, and ETP List operating procedures. At its meeting in March 2006, the Board adopted revised performance standards, shown in the table below, for completion rate, and employment rate and earnings of former students. For comparison, the standards used in the 2005 performance review are also included in the table. In order to remain on the ETP List for the next program year, training programs must meet or exceed the 2006 performance standards: Performance Measure 2005 Standard 2006 Standard Completion Rate-The number of successful completers divided by total number of students who left the program (exiters). 20% 20% Employment Rate-The number of exiters from the program who were employed during the third calendar quarter after exit divided by the total number of exiters. 50% 50% Earnings-The average earnings, for the third quarter after exit, of all exiters who were employed during the third quarter after exit. $3,207.50 $3,300.00 For more detailed definitions and methods used in the annual performance analysis, see "The Governor's Procedure for Determining Training Provider Eligibility".
