Thank you for your interest in being a Local Board Determination (LBD) Training Provider. An LBD Training Provider is an agency that provides training that can bypass the CA ETPL upon determination by the Local Workforce Development Board for reasons such as higher education, a lack of providers, or barriers to employment. This activity code requires staff to provide a justification in case notes. The training must be funded by WIOA via a training contract.

To be considered, your agency must meet the following requirements:

Be accredited by Accrediting Commission for Schools-Western Association of Schools and Colleges (https://acswasc.org/), Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (https://accjc.org/), WASC Senior College and University Commission (https://www.wscuc.org/), or Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) https://www.bppe.ca.gov/. BPPE approves private postsecondary schools to operate as accredited or non-accredited institutions, or to provide verification of exempt status, all for a fee.
Program(s) must lead to either a credential or training-related employment.
Provide training in “in-demand” occupations, as defined by the Workforce Partnership.
Not debarred from doing business with the Federal Government.
Read, follow, and provide all required documentation for initial eligibility in the ETPL Policy and Procedures. (https://edd.ca.gov/siteassets/files/jobs_and_training/pubs/wsd25-02.docx)
Program(s) must be able to report at least 1 year of performance information.
If you are an apprenticeship program registered with the Department of Labor (DOL) and/or Department of Industrial Relations (DIR)/Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS), you are eligible for the ETPL. The provider’s programs are not subject to program initial eligibility, nor do you have any continued eligibility requirements.

Employers’ Training Resource will utilize some of the exact requirements as outlined in the Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL). If you have a credential attached to your training, please see the Postsecondary Credential Attainment Decision Tree.
