Training and Education
There is a connection between training and your earnings, over a period of time. It's a fact: the more you learn the more you may earn!
Wisconsin's Eligible Training Programs List
Wisconsin’s Eligible Training Programs List (ETPL) is your source for learning about a broad range of training options that can help lead you to a new or more rewarding career.
Interested in Training?
With a few exceptions, WIOA participants interested in training funds must select a training program from this list. TAA participants may also use this list when selecting training. WIOA and TAA participants must get approval from their career planner to receive training funds.
Interested in adding your program(s) to the ETPL?
Training institutions must apply to have their program(s) on the ETPL. Institutions and their programs must meet eligibility, program information and performance submission requirements before they are listed on the ETPL. Once listed, training institutions manage their own program(s) online.
