Common use of Employee Training Program Clause in Contracts

Employee Training Program. The Employee Training Program (ETP) helps employers, who have proactively hired employees in anticipation of their workforce needs, to offset the cost of training for new employees. The ETP can assist employers who require employee up-skilling due to economic, technological and/or organizational change, and may be used to support individuals who are under-employed or employed and in need of training to maintain their current job and/or advance, progress or move to a different and/or better job. The ETP may also be used in conjunction with the Wage Subsidy Program (WSP) to offset the costs of training employees. Requests for ETP are primarily supported under the WDA. If used in conjunction with the WSP, then support may also be provided under LMDA. The objectives of the Employee Training Program (ETP) are to support employers:  To increase employee skill levels through relevant education and training to facilitate advancement within their career;  To bridge employment skills gaps through specialized training supports; and  To encourage employers to hire NWT residents with minimal work experience by offsetting the costs of training.
