Employment Training Tax Benefit Status

The Employment Training Panel (ETP) is a business and labor supported state agency that assists employers in strengthening their competitive edge by providing funds to offset the costs of job skills training necessary to maintain high-performance workplaces.

The program is funded by the Employment Training Tax paid by California employers. Only employers who pay into the fund are eligible, and generally only their employees who make the State minimum of $18.60/hour for this classification are eligible. *The wage threshold may be lower for employers who do business in “high Unemployment” areas. In addition, employers who contribute a portion of employees health and welfare may claim the amount as an offset to the $18.60.
