Training Provider Application (except for Registered Apprenticeship Programs)

Approved Training Vendors and Targeted Occupations Lists

CareerSource Tampa Bay will review the application, and all required supporting documentation. A site visit will be conducted as part of the application review process. All training providers and each course to be offered are subject to approval by the CareerSource Tampa Bay Board of Directors.

All applications will be competitively reviewed by CareerSource Tampa Bay staff with recommendations presented at regularly scheduled CSTB committee meetings. Applications receiving a favorable recommendation will go before the full Board of Directors for final approval. CareerSource Tampa Bay will notify approved training providers in writing of their approval or denial for inclusion on our local approved Eligible Training Provider List.

The institution’s approval as a qualified occupational skills training provider will not guarantee that participants will be referred by staff for training. Any and all referrals will be based upon the decision of staff after reviewing an assessment of the client’s aptitudes, abilities, geographic location, interests, costs, and other relevant information.

Questions or comments regarding the online application may be directed to Melissa Carroll, Fiscal Compliance Coordinator at (813) 397-2026 or [email protected].
