ETP Funded Training for Companies

Employment Training Panel (ETP)

ETP is a California state agency designed to fund training to meet the needs of employers for skilled workers and the need of workers for good, long-term jobs. The program is provided to California employers for their employees and funds up to 100% of the cost for training at approved schools.

Studio Arts is a high-end ETP training provider for film, TV, game and other entertainment production and support companies. Studio Arts offers its training for companies seeking to keep pace with a rapidly-changing entertainment industry.

Instruction is delivered by subject matter experts who are professionals working in the industry. Training is LIVE, online and in Zoom or can be done at your company.

If your company is interested in participating and having its employees do from 8 to 200 hours of no-cost ETP training, feel free to call 323.227.8776, or email us at admin@studioarts.com.
