What is ETN?
The Employment Training Network (ETN) is a multi-faceted, full-service program created by the Employment Development Department (EDD) to assist in the development and implementation of effective Welfare-to-Work (WtW) and Workforce Investment Act (WIA) projects and programs. The ETN is administered by the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA) and is funded by the EDD Workforce Services Division.

The goal of the ETN is to provide immediate, short-term technical assistance. The process is streamlined and evaluations received for ETN services have been consistently excellent.
