How Can Your Company Qualify for ETP?
Your company may already be approved if you are a manufacturer or winery. Qualifying for ETP funds requires:

• Out of state competition (marketing products nationally or internationally qualify you)
• Goal to have high performance workplace standards
• Currently providing an employee training program that ETP funds would supplement
• Annual turnover rate of 20 percent or less (in some industries / circumstances, ETP waives this requirement)
• Your employees are full-time and meet salary requirements (35-40 hours per week with a minimum hourly pay rate of $10.98)
• Each participant takes a minimum of 40 hours of ETP training

When undertaking the ETP Program, companies commit to:

• Absorb all other training-related costs and not pass any costs on to employees
• Mandatory ETP training for at least 20 employees
• Employee wages at the end of the 90-day retention of $10.98 or more, not including vacation or sick time
• Reimburse the program for employees who leave within 90 days of taking training
