About the List

Statewide ETPL: The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) maintains a statewide list of approved training providers, referred to as the Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL). Customers who qualify for funding may choose an approved training option from this list.

WSTC Preferred Providers: Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County (WSTC) offers a local list of preferred training providers based off those on the statewide list. This helps serve as a guide for customers to find trusted providers with strong results. Customers may choose any approved provider.

Inclusion on the TWC Statewide ETPL does not guarantee that a workforce board will refer students nor that the training provider will receive any funding.
