The Employment Training Panel program provides funding to employers to assist in upgrading the skills of their workers through training that leads to good paying, longterm jobs.
While the need for workforce training is critical, businesses generally reserve capacity-building dollars for highly technical and professional occupations – limiting investment in training for frontline workers who produce goods and deliver services. ETP helps to fill this gap by funding training that is targeted to the frontline workers.
