The Employment Training Panel (ETP) provides funding to employers to assist in upgrading the skills of their workers through training that leads to good paying, long-term jobs. ETP was created in 1982 by the California State Legislature and is funded by California employers through a special payroll tax. ETP sought a partner who could help evaluate its application process for greater transparency, equity and ease for applicants using human-centered design (HCD), as well as capacity building for HCD being used across the organization.
