Eligible Training Provider List

The Sacramento Employment & Training Agency (SETA) and Sacramento Works accept applications from qualified schools and institutions for inclusion on the Statewide Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) on an on-going basis. Schools and institutions applying for the ETPL must be physically located in the Sacramento region (El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba counties) to be considered. In addition, qualified schools and institutions that offer on-line or distance learning training programs are also eligible to apply. In order for SETA/Sacramento Works to nominate a school or institution for inclusion to the statewide ETPL the school or institution must meet one, or more, of the following criteria:

  1. Schools/institutions either possess current approval or are verified as “exempt” by the California Department of Consumer Affairs, Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE), or;
  2. Schools/institutions possess current accreditation by a recognized regional or national accrediting body, or:
  3. Schools/institutions are accredited, approved, or licensed by a state board, department, or agency (such as the Calif. Department of Education or the Chancellors Office of California Community College).

Schools/institutions wishing to have their program(s) nominated to the approved statewide list must submit a completed Provider Application and a separate Program Application for each education/training program submitted. Eligibility of program(s) will be determined in accordance with the State of California Directive(s) and Sacramento Works, Inc./SETA’s ETPL/LTPL Policies and Procedures.

Beginning January 1, 2010, private postsecondary schools operating in California will be under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Consumer Affairs, Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) and are subject to the requirements of the Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009 (http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/asm/ab_0001-0050/ab_48_bill_20091011_chaptered.pdf) unless they are exempt pursuant to sections 94874, 94874.1, or 94927.5 of the Act.

We have included links below to the BPPE approval (and renewal) applications for accredited and non-accredited institutions. Institutions with new BPPE applications will be required to submit evidence that they possess current BPPE approval at the time they submit their ETPL Provider and Program applications. While BPPE does not mandate it, SETA does requires that all institutions who believe they qualify as exempt must submit a Verification of Exemption application to BPPE, and provide evidence of their approved exempt status to SETA, prior to their institutions’ inclusion on the ETPL.

A comprehensive listing of BPPE provider applications can be found on their website (http://www.bppve.ca.gov/applications/index.shtml).

Persons interested in additional information regarding the Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009, and related rules and regulations, can go to the BPPE website www.bppe.ca.gov. If you have any questions, please contact the California Department of Consumer Affairs, Bureau for Private Postsecondary via e-mail at  bppe@dca.ca.gov

Qualified schools/institutions, in the Sacramento region, that are added to the statewide ETPL by Sacramento Works, Inc./SETA are eligible to receive referrals for subsidized training under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). When One-Stop Career Center individuals/customers receive Workforce Investment Act funds for training, express an interest in enrolling in a program offered by an eligible ETPL school/institution,  the school/institution will be offered the opportunity to enter into a formal Local Training Provider Service Agreement Contract. Once a signed contract is in place, the provider will be included on SETA/Sacramento Works Local Training Provider List (LTPL) and will be eligible to receive additional career center customer referrals.

All new education/training program(s), submitted for inclusion on the LTPL, must prepare program completers for employment in a “demand” occupation. “Demand” is defined as those occupations that are forecast to grow by 40 jobs or more (based on absolute growth only) over the 5 year forecast period as reflected in the current Occupational Forecast (Employment Change – Numerical) included in CareerGPS.com (http://www.careergps.com/occupation_forecast_data.asp?seta_check=&w=1250&h=800&t=Occupation Forecast Data)

Schools/institutions who submit an LTPL packet and meet SETA/Sacramento Works current LTPL contract qualifications must agree to the following guidelines:

  1. Schools/institutions must maintain and submit, as requested, necessary insurance documentation and endorsements as outlined in the LTPL Packet contract requirements. Failure to maintain and submit all necessary contractual documentation will result in the school/institution being placed on an LTPL Hold Status (schools/institutions will not be able to receive any additional training referrals from any of our One-Stop Career Centers) until the necessary documentation is submitted;
  2. Schools/institutions must submit monthly Customer/Student Progress Reports on a  monthly basis;
  3. Schools/institutions must submit Customer/Student Placement Form(s), as they occur, for training program completers who enter into unsubsidized employment;
  4. Schools/institutions must demonstrate that they provide customer/student placement services. In addition, schools/institutions will be evaluated on their ability to maintain an overall Program Completion Rate of 80% and an Entered Employment (Placement) Rate of 60%. The completion and placement rates will be calculated and evaluated on an annual basis.

Failure to meet any of the above mentioned guidelines may result in the LTPL provider being placed on “probation” (corrective action) and/or termination of their LTPL contract and subsequent removal from the LTPL.
