WIOA requires that the State Workforce Agency maintain a list of institutions and their training programs that are eligible for Individual Training Accounts (ITAs).1 This list is called the "Eligible Training Programs List" (ETPL). The ETPL helps ensure training program quality and accountability as well as informed choice for WIOA participants selecting training.2 DWD-DET, as Wisconsin's State Workforce Agency, is responsible for overseeing and maintaining Wisconsin's ETPL.
Wisconsin's ETPL must be used to select ITA-funded training services for WIOA Title I Adult Program and Dislocated Worker Program participants who qualify for training3 and, it may be used for the same purpose for Out-of-School Youth (OSY) Program participants.4 Other core and partner programs are not required to use the ETPL but the state may choose to leverage it as a resource.5 If an institution's training program is not on the list, it can take steps to add the program or, the program may be allowable as a non-ITA training option.6 The ETPL does not apply to services other than training.7
