Aspyr Launches 2025 Training Provider Catalogue

Aspyr has announced the release of its 2025 catalogue of Eligible Training Providers (ETPs), reflecting a commitment to workforce innovation and individual career development. This initiative aims to connect job seekers with quality training and education opportunities that are funded under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).

The new catalogue features a meticulously curated list of providers that have passed a rigorous evaluation process. This evaluation is designed to ensure that these organizations meet Aspyr's high standards for delivering effective and relevant training programs. According to Kier Scott, Aspyr's Director of Policy and Research, the selection process looks at several critical criteria: program completion rates, alignment with industry demand, job placement success rates, and the overall cost-effectiveness of the programs.

"Our rigorous evaluation process ensures that only the best training providers make it into the catalogue, giving WIOA participants access to top-tier programs aligned with in-demand job opportunities. We assess each provider based on their merits, ensuring significant value for those receiving WIOA funding," Scott explained.

The catalogue showcases a diverse array of certificate programs designed to prepare participants for entry-level roles across various in-demand sectors. These include careers such as:

• - Truck Driver
• - Nursing Assistant
• - Cybersecurity Specialist
• - Pharmacy Technician
• - Heavy Equipment Operator
• - Firefighter

This selection underscores Aspyr's mission to facilitate access to training in fields where there is significant job growth and opportunity. Notably, the training providers featured in the catalogue range from well-established educational institutions to community organizations and specialized training companies. This diversity enhances the flexibility and accessibility for job seekers, regardless of their WIOA eligibility.

Furthermore, while the catalogue primarily serves those eligible for WIOA funding, it is also a valuable resource for any individual aiming to start a career. The programs listed have been chosen based on their proven track record in yielding successful outcomes for graduates, making it a practical tool for all potential job seekers.

Aspyr encourages interested individuals to explore the training options available by visiting their website, where the complete list of Eligible Training Providers can be found.
