ETP: Application Process.

The ETP process starts with either registering a new user or signing into an existing account and then submitting an Application within ETP’s online contract management system known as Cal-E-Force. Once an application is submitted it is reviewed by a first-in first-out process within ETPs funding priorities limitations. Go to the ETP website to get registered at Apply For Funds Page. ETP provides funds to California employers through two streams of services, ETP’s Contract (Performance Based) Funding and ETP Grants. These services are operated separately with their own set of requirements and will need to be applied for individually. We only provide consulting services for Contract (Performance Based) Funding.
