ETA 9171 – Eligible Training Provider (ETP) Definitions
There are several data elements that are required by statute for ETP reporting. In order to streamline data collection and reduce burden, some of those data elements will be collected in the PIRL and some will be collected through the ETP ICR. This table includes definitions for terms and performance indicators that will need to be collected for ETP reporting. Some of the performance indicators are comprised of multiple data elements that will be collected separately from one another. Details on the data collection format for the ETP reporting items outlined in this table as well as the method that must be used for state submission to DOL will be delineated in a future information collection request to be cleared by OMB and will provide for public comment.
DATA ELEMENT	DEFINITION	COLLECTION/CODING CHOICES
Eligible Training Provider	Organizations deemed eligible by a state to provide training services to WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker program participants.	The name of the eligible training provider.
Type of Entity	The type of training entity of ETPs are defined in 20 CFR part 680.410 and includes: an institution of higher education that provides a program that leads to a recognized postsecondary credential; programs registered under the "National Apprenticeship Act"; a public or private provider of training services	1 = Institution of Higher Education that only awards or the majority of credentials awarded are associates degrees 2 = Institution of Higher Education that only awards or the majority of the credentials awarded are baccalaureate or higher degrees 3 = Institute of Higher Education where the majority of credentials awarded are a Community college certificate of completion 4 = National Apprenticeship provider 5 = Private non-profit provider 6 = Private for-profit provider 7 = Public provider 8 = Other type of institution
Program of study – by potential outcome	States must ensure data is collected and reported for each program of study deemed eligible to serve WIOA participants for each ETP. A program of study is synonymous with a “program of training services” as defined at 20 CFR part 680.420. A program of training services is one or more courses or classes, or a structured regimen that provides the services in 20 CFR part 680.200 and leads to: (a) An industry-recognized certificate or certification, a certificate of completion of an apprenticeship, a license recognized by the State involved or the Federal Government, an associate or baccalaureate degree, or community college certificate of completion; (b) Consistent with § 680.350, a secondary school diploma or its equivalent; (c) Employment; or (d) Measurable skill gains toward a credential described in paragraph (a) or (b) of this section or employment. Please provide all that apply in this field.	1 = A program of study leading to an industry-recognized certificate or certification 2 = A program of study leading to a certificate of completion of an apprenticeship 3 = A program of study leading to a license recognized by the State involved or the Federal Government, 4 = A program of study leading to an associate degree 5 = A program of study leading to a baccalaureate degree 6 = A program of study leading to a community college certificate of completion 7 = A program of study leading to a secondary school diploma or its equivalent 8 = A program of study leading to employment 9 = A program of study leading to a measureable skills gain leading to a credential 0 = A program of study leading to a measureable skills gain leading to employment
Program of Study – CIP Code	A program of study is identified through both the type of program outlined above (e.g. industry-recognized certificate) and the field of study. The taxonomy that will be used to identify fields of study will be the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP). The CIP code can be found here: https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/Default.aspx?y=55	Enter the 4-digit CIP code for the program of study.
Total Number of Individuals Served	The total number of students enrolled in this program of study in the reporting period.	The aggregated figure for the number of all individuals (WIOA and non-WIOA) refers to any individual who was enrolled in a course that is part of a program of study within a quarter. For the state reporting, this will be the sum of all four quarters.
