How our Program works: Financial Projections

As a Partner in your success we introduce you to the Employment Training Panel.

The Employment Training Panel (ETP) grants funding to employers in order to help them upgrade their workers’ skill level through training. This in turn leads to higher productivity and good paying, long-term jobs

ETP is a State of California program that was established in 1983

It is funded by your company’s tax dollars. A portion of UI tax is set aside for ETP general fund

ETP allocates funding to companies who go through a proposal process leading to a contract

ETP funding is performance based. Funding is earned by your company on a trainee by trainee basis, after documentation of training using simple sign in sheets known as rosters, and after trainees meet basic ETP guidelines.

The definition of referral management is managing the process by which protential partners are transitioned to the next step in their decision making process.

Employment Training Panel Program (ETP) is a program to fund training for companies in the State of California.

Individuals who want to use ETP Funds for their personal development are not allowed to use those funds with CityLab Professional.

Here’s How:

• You purchase new (or new to you) qualified equipment, and finance it through Crest Capital. The below graph assumes $50k worth of equipment.

• You take your Section 179 deduction, which gives you an average net tax savings of $17,500. These are real dollars that stay in YOUR bank account instead of the IRS’s.

• Assuming a monthly payment of $1,120, your raw tax savings work out to nearly 16 months of payments.

• Not only does your tax savings cover your payments for over a year (thanks Uncle Sam!), you also get to USE the equipment to make MORE revenue. Win-Win.

Fidelity Bond Program: New Hire Security

The Fidelity Bonding Program is designed to assist at-risk job seekers return to work, and offers an incentive to employers that guarantees the job honesty of those at-risk job seekers.

The bond would reimburse employers for theft of money or property sustained by the employee. An employer can receive a bond of either $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 for a job seeker.

The job seeker must have authorization to work documents, must be at least 18 years old, and have a firm job offer from the employer.

The employer must be located in California and pay wages with the federal and state taxes automatically deducted from paychecks, among other requirements also listed on the Directive.

Once the employer provides the job seeker a firm job offers, the job seeker must go into an America’s Job Center of California (AJCC) to meet with a staff member and complete the Bond paperwork, or speak with a representative over the phone.

The AJCC locations and phone numbers can be found here: https://www.careeronestop.org/LocalHelp/AmericanJobCenters/find-american-job-centers.aspx. The documents can also be found on the Employment Development Department (EDD) website www.edd.ca.gov.

In addition to assisting with the bonding process, they are great resource for job seekers and employers.
