The Employment Training Panel (ETP) is a California agency founded in 1983 as a cooperative

state-funded employee training assistance. To date, the ETP program has allocated over $850 million
for training to 55,000 businesses for 600,000 employees.
ETP funds are used to offset the cost of providing training to your employees.
