Instructor advising students

Intelligrants (IGX) is the system of record for training providers.

As a training program provider, you may have questions about data collection requirements, Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) listing, and how the Department of Labor deals with Quality Assurance. You can find answers to your questions here.

If you don't see your answer, please reach out to us at IGXhelp@dol.nj.gov and we will do our best to help you out.

The Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) as envisioned by state and federal law, is critical to ensure that the highest level of training services is available to the citizens of New Jersey. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) provides that participants in need of training services to enhance their job readiness or career pathway may access career training through a list of state‐approved training providers and their state‐approved training programs, known as the ETPL. The ETPL is essential not only to the workforce system, but to all New Jerseyans making an informed customer choice about available training opportunities. All programs listed on the ETPL can be found in the New Jersey Training Explorer.

New Jersey State law (C:34:1A‐86) mandates the collection and display of specific provider and program performance data on the Consumer Report Card. The student record data submitted by providers populates the Consumer Report Card (CRC). The Consumer Report Card was restructured in July 2021 as the Quality Assurance Scorecard measuring equity in training and employment outcomes for labor market demand, education and training, employment and wage outcomes, and financial impact. The quality assurance scorecard aims to add a critical layer of consumer protection for NJ’s current and future students and encourage a culture of continuous program quality and improvement for NJ’s eligible training providers.

The CRC allows students to search for information and program outcomes for training providers. The search results provide information on the various programs offered by each approved training provider and allow the user to compare programs and providers based on information such as the location and length of training, the costs and any special services that may be offered, as well employment outcomes and student comments.

New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL) requires all Private Career Schools are required to be on the ETPL. All Private Career Schools and programs listed on the ETPL are required to submit reports into the NJDOL Intelligrants (IGX) system.

The Private Career School initial application must be completed by any business enterprise that does business in New Jersey and recruits adult students from the public; charges tuition and/or fees; offers instruction to a group or groups of four or more adult students at one time; and offers preparatory instruction for entry-level employment or for upgrading in a specific occupational field. The Initial Application for a Private Career School includes the ETPL application. There is no need to complete an additional application to be on the ETPL.

The Private Career School Renewal Application must be completed every two years by all approved private career schools and submitted no later than 90 calendar days prior to the expiration date of each school's current Certificate of Approval. Failure to submit this application within the prescribed 90 days may result in a lapse in approval to provide training.
