Your voice matters. Join us in opposing Senate Bill 1321 (Wahab) to ensure the Employment Training Panel (ETP) program continues to support diverse workforce training and the growth of California’s businesses. Fill out the form to find your legislator and send them a letter expressing your concerns about this vital issue.
The Employment Training Panel (ETP) program plays a crucial role in supporting California’s workforce development efforts. Established over 30 years ago, the ETP program has provided essential funding to businesses, enabling them to enhance the skills of their employees and remain competitive in today’s rapidly evolving economy. Through the ETP program, over $1 billion has been allocated to support training initiatives for California’s manufacturers and priority industries, benefiting more than 80,000 employees across the state.
Senate Bill 1321 (Wahab) threatens to undermine the effectiveness of the current ETP program by proposing significant changes that could dismantle its vital infrastructure. These proposed changes jeopardize the jobs and career pathways of thousands of workers and have the potential to disrupt the stability and growth of priority industries throughout California. It is imperative that we oppose SB 1321 to protect the integrity of the ETP program and ensure continued support for workforce development in our state.
