Amount
Not published

ETP funds the cost of vocational training for employers' workers, through Contract Funds (performance-based reimbursement paid for by the Employment Training Tax) and Cal-E-Grants (grant funds). Targets firms threatened by out-of-state competition or competing globally; incumbent-worker training requires an employer contribution; extra incentives for small businesses and high-unemployment areas.
