CalJobs ETPL — Approved
Cosmetology Training

California's job training portal connects eligible workers to funded cosmetology and PMU programs at Elite PMU College.

What Is the ETPL

A Government-Maintained List of Schools Approved to Receive Your Training Funds

CalJobs.ca.gov is California's official labor exchange portal, operated by the Employment Development Department (EDD). Its Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) is a public database of programs approved to receive WIOA Individual Training Account (ITA) funds.[1]

When you qualify for WIOA funding at your local Job Center, your ITA works like a tuition voucher redeemable only at ETPL-listed schools. The payment goes directly from the government to the school — you never handle the money.[2]

Every school on the ETPL must meet ongoing performance requirements including graduation rates and job placement outcomes — so you know you're choosing a program that delivers results.[3]

How ETPL Funding Works

When your school is on the ETPL, your ITA is paid directly to them — no upfront tuition, no reimbursement paperwork.

Search "Elite PMU" or "Elite Cosmetology College" at CalJobs.ca.gov to see our current ETPL listing and confirm WIOA eligibility.[1]

Eligibility

Who Can Access ETPL-Listed Training Through WIOA?

To use an ETPL-approved program with WIOA funding, you need to qualify for an Individual Training Account. A counselor at your local America's Job Center determines this — free of charge.[4]

Dislocated Workers

Recently laid off, facing layoff, or displaced due to business closure or workforce reduction.[4]

Low-Income Adults 18+

Household income at or below WIOA guidelines for Los Angeles County.[4]

Public Assistance Recipients

Currently receiving CalWORKs, TANF, Medi-Cal, food assistance, or similar benefits.[5]

Out-of-School Youth (14–24)

Young adults who are out of school and in a low-income situation may access training through the WIOA Youth program.[4]

What Your ITA Covers

Training Costs Your WIOA Account Can Pay For

Once your counselor issues an ITA for an ETPL-listed school, it covers your direct training costs so you can focus entirely on your education.[2]

  • Full tuition for your cosmetology or permanent makeup program[2]
  • Required textbooks and course materials[6]
  • Lab kits, supply kits, and equipment fees
  • Enrollment and registration fees[6]
  • Program-related tools and protective supplies
  • State board exam preparation support[2]
