A.
SOLICITATION
This Request for Application (RFA) collects information to
assist the State in obtaining programs for the Eligible Training
Provider List (ETPL). Since all programs of training services must
be listed on the ETPL in order to receive WIA funds for training
adults and dislocated workers, ETR encourages all eligible entities
to apply for inclusion on the list. It is important to note that
inclusion on the ETPL does not guarantee referrals.
B. APPLICATION PROCESS
Interested providers of training services in Kern, Inyo, and
Mono Counties must submit an application to Employers? Training
Resource who is responsible for reviewing the application,
determining if the application meets State and local criteria for
listing, and forwarding that information to the State. The State,
in turn, is responsible for accepting the information, verifying the
information, and compiling a single statewide list of providers, and
disseminating this list to Employers? Training Resource for
distribution to its one-stop centers located throughout Kern, Inyo
and Mono Counties.
Additions, changes, and deletions may be made throughout the
year. The State will update the list daily to incorporate changes
that do not require verification. Other changes will be included on
the list within 30 days of the transmission to the State.
C. LOCAL TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE
Requests for technical assistance may be made to Kevin
Whitaker, Program Analyst, by phone at (661) 336-6979, by email at
whitakerk@co.kern.ca.us or by fax at (661) 336-6858.
D. TRAINING PROVIDERS
UNDER REIMBURSEMENT CONTRACT
Training providers offering training to WIA adults and
dislocated workers under reimbursement contracts with Employers?
Training Resource must also complete the ETPL application.
E. TRAINING COSTS
The cost for training on the
application cannot be more than the price charged to the general
public. A cost comparison with similar programs of training will be
conducted to ensure the reasonableness of the skills training cost.
On the Workforce Investment Act Training Program Application you
will be filling in the Total Program Cost box. The three components
in this box are:
1. Tuition - tuition price charged to the general public for all
administrative, registration, and class fees, etc.,
2. Fees - fees such as memberships, special room rentals,
entrances, etc.,
3.
Expenses - essential expenses such as books, materials, and
special transportation, parking passes, etc.
Please
provide in addition to your application the enclosed Program Cost
Description Form listing all of the items that are included in each
program. Everything that is provided in the Total Program Cost
needs to be itemized by component including but not limited to
course tuition, books, class supplies, computer software, computer
labs, student body cards, parking fees, safety equipment, uniforms
and tools. Everything that is included in the cost of your
program(s) needs to be listed.
