IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
If you are an eligible training provider (ETP) or interested in becoming one, you NEED to attend the upcoming webinar to learn about new performance data requirements and options to provide the data. The webinar will be held July 31 at 2:00 - 3:15 pm CST.
An approved eligible training provider is not guaranteed student referrals or use of WIOA training funds. Local Workforce Development Boards (WDBs) must also approve eligible training providers based on justification that the training provided is for in-demand industry sectors and occupations within each region. Local WDBs make the final determination within each of the local regions. Providers wishing to explore occupations in-demand in the Missouri Economy may view labor market data found at MERIC.
What is the Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL)?
The Missouri Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) was established in compliance with the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 and amended by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014 to provide customer-focused employment training resources for adults and dislocated workers.
The Missouri Office of Workforce Development offers MoSCORES, an online search engine list of education and training providers who offer programs that are approved for WIOA or other funding. This list offers many education and training programs. If your organization delivers training or education in high-demand career fields, we want to add you as an Eligible Training Provider (ETP)!
