Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) dollars flow through CareerForce locations and partner agencies—not through schools directly. Counselors look at work history, income, layoff status, barriers to employment, and training goals. When they authorize an Individual Training Account for an ETPL program, you can apply that funding toward tuition at an approved provider.
Minnesota Trade Careers operates an online HVAC technician track that appears on Minnesota's Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL), which is the list many counselors use when approving HVAC training. Submitting this page does not guarantee funding; it starts the conversation with our team so you arrive at CareerForce organized and informed.
