Eligible California employers can utilize state funds to train their employees through Employers Group. Employees can receive 8 to 120 hours of productivity-related training delivered by Employers Group on-site at your company’s facility, at our facility, or at another location identified by your company. Your company may also deliver the training. Training can be delivered from July 1, 2020 until March 15, 2022. Funding is available to Employers Group from the Employment Training Panel (ETP).

Employers Group will conduct a complimentary training needs assessment and work with your company to identify appropriate training topics and training populations. Employers Group will then propose a solution that outlines costs and state reimbursement for your training. State reimbursement is based on a “per trainee basis” (for each eligible training hour each eligible trainee receives). Employers may receive 8 to 120 hours of training per trainee.
For each training hour to be funded, trainees must:
Note: The wage stated above must be met 90-days after training ends. Employer-paid health benefits of up to $2.50 can be included to meet or exceed wage requirement. Regular bonuses, shift differentials and some additional criteria may also be used. Contact Employers Group for details.
Are you delivering training internally? Do you need to secure your own state-funded training contract? Do you need assistance with state funding in other states? We can help! For eligible California employers, we provide between $17.40 and $20.00 for each hour, each trainee receives. We have over $500,000 available and the training dates can be from June 30, 2020 until March 15, 2022.
Complete an eligibility application. We will supply you with a form to sign to verify eligibility, which will be approved in less than two weeks. Manufacturers can be approved in hours. We let you know what documentation we will need for reimbursement (rosters, trainee information). Eligible training includes computer skills, leadership, communications, lean and process improvement. Harassment, law, safety and compliance are NOT eligible. Rebates are processed by Employers Group and 75% is paid once training has been 100% delivered and the remaining 25% paid approximately nine months later. Funding is only provided after we receive reimbursement from the state and is available to members.
