Understanding ETPL Requirements and Approval Process
The North Carolina ETPL (Eligible Training Provider List) is a crucial resource that lists all approved WIOA training programs and providers. To be eligible for WIOA funds, providers must go through a two-step approval process involving the state agency and local workforce development boards. The ETPL includes community colleges, apprenticeship programs, proprietary schools, and out-of-state providers. Compliance with ETPL guidelines is necessary for certification and recertification, with performance reviews conducted annually. Learn more about this process and its significance in accessing WIOA training opportunities.
