Alternative Funding
ETP’s core budget was depleted by October 2009; however, it continued supporting California’s economy and jobs by expanding partnerships and leveraging its resources. By augmenting funding from alternative sources such as Workforce Investment Act dollars, federal American Recovery & Reinvestment Act money and additional program dollars from the California Energy Commission such as from AB 118, ETP continued to fund projects and meet Strategic Plan goals. These accomplishments have helped California’s economic recovery through jobs sustainability and creation, and also enabled businesses big and small to maintain a competitive edge. The breakdown of alternative fund project totals is as follows:
- WIA Non-Profit Nursing – 18 contracts, $5.4M and 3,338 trainees
- Clean Energy Workforce Training Program – 14 contracts, $4.5M and 3,443 trainees
- WIA High Wage High Skill – 16 contracts, $3M and 2,340 trainees
- AB 118 Alternative Fuel & Vehicle – 5 contracts, $1.8M and 603 trainees
