5. How does my training program become an Eligible Training Provider?

All Eligible Training Providers must meet performance levels that are set by the Governor.  Pre-Apprenticeship programs and other union-sponsored occupational training programs that do not operate under the National Apprenticeship Act must follow their LWIBs’ application process, which usually includes submitting performance data for applicant programs.  Providers should consider taking these steps:

• Contact your local Workforce Investment Board office.  See attached document for a comprehensive list of state and local offices.
  
• Submit an Initial Eligibility Application with your local office. 
• You must submit an individual application for each training location. 
• You must also submit a unique and separate application for each program/course. 
• The state is mandated to verify applications within 30 days upon receiving them from the local board.
  
• In preparing your application, calculate your program’s cost on a per-person basis. Click here for a sample formula with an interactive table.
• To strengthen your application, explore community, educational, and business partnerships for your training program.
