Per FloridaCommerce requirements, CSCF must list contracts over $35k. The contract agreements and modifications can be found in the table below.

New training providers must apply to the Florida Department of Commerce via Employ Florida. Go to Employ Florida, then click on the Sign In/Register button. Scroll down to the Provider Registration.

The Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) enables qualified institutions, such as colleges, private training providers, and apprenticeship programs, to offer Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)-funded training services. To be eligible, providers must meet specific criteria, including offering industry-recognized credentials and adhering to performance standards like completion and job placement rates.

To apply, first submit your application to the Florida Department of Commerce for inclusion on the state ETPL via Employ Florida. Go to Employ Florida, then click on the Sign In/Register button. Scroll down to the Provider Registration. Once your program is approved at the state level, CareerSource Central Florida (CSCF) will assess if it aligns with local demand and strategic priorities for addition to local ETPL.

The next step is CareerSource Central Florida’s local review for inclusion on our Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL). During this review, we evaluate:

1. Program Description: Provide detailed descriptions of training programs and their associated costs.
2. Licensing and Accreditation: Must be licensed and accredited to provide training in Florida.
3. Performance Data: Submit verifiable performance metrics, such as completion rates, employment outcomes, and credential attainment.
4. Alignment with Local Needs: Programs should prepare participants for in-demand industries or occupations.
   Training Program is in the Local Targeted Occupations List.
5. Accessibility: Ensure that programs are accessible to all, including individuals with disabilities.

CareerSource Central Florida conducts local ETPL reviews twice each year in October and April. If approved in the October review, providers will be added to the local ETPL effective January. If approved in the April review, providers will be added to the local ETPL effective July. Providers initially approved are granted eligibility for one year. Continued eligibility requires a review every two years.

To assist with the local review, please submit your program performance data, including completion, credential attainment, and employment outcomes, along with any supporting documentation that demonstrates your program’s success.

Please note that approval by the Florida Department of Commerce does not automatically guarantee inclusion on CareerSource Central Florida’s local ETPL.

Providers initially approved are granted eligibility for one year. Continued eligibility requires a review every two years.

There are additional requirements training providers need to meet in order to qualify. We strongly encourage you to read this document before applying on the Florida Department of Commerce Employ Florida website.
