As of September 25th, 2009, ETP has ceased to accept requests for new training contracts from all sectors of industry - except the Clean Energy Workforce Training Program and the Non-Profit Nurse Training Program - until such a time as The State of California is able to direct additional funding towards the program.
As the training term of Moviola's current contract ended as of April 7th, 2010, we have been unable to enter into negotiations for renewal of our contract. Unfortunately, this means that we are currently unable to offer ETP-subsidized training to anyone for any reason.
This program has been a boon to us and to many companies actively working within or in support of the entertainment industry in California. We hope to enter into negotiations for a new contract as soon as the program has the available funds once more, and when that happens we will do our best to notify all of the companies who have benefitted from the program before.
We will be posting information on this website about the state of ETP as we learn of it. In the meantime, we are currently researching additional government funded training programs so that we can continue to offer training to those who need it, so please check back here to see what programs we're currently able to offer.
Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to being able to continue to offer you the best training to meet your professional needs!
ETP - California State Subsidized Training
BRIEF OVERVIEW
The State of California's ETP Program reduces the cost of courses, for those companies and employees that qualify, in order to ensure that California's workforce remains competitive. Essentially, the ETP program covers the majority of the training fees, while the participating company covers a much smaller portion. Fee reduction for ETP Program participants can be as great as 75%.
ABOUT ETP STATE SUBSIDIZED TRAINING
Today's high-tech, global and increasingly competitive economy requires California workers and employers to have the most advanced skills and tools available to succeed. That is why effective job training is more essential today than ever before. Leading California's job training effort is the Employment Training Panel (ETP), the joint business-labor supported state agency that provides training funds which improve the productivity and competitiveness of California business, while providing secure employment for workers.
ETP is a California State agency that began in 1983 and is designed to fund training that meets the needs of employers for skilled workers and the need of workers for good, long-term jobs. The ETP program supports the California economy, primarily by funding the retraining of incumbent, frontline workers in companies challenged by out-of-state competition.
