What is the New Hampshire ETPL?
The New Hampshire Eligible Training Provider List is the set of programs that WIOA money can pay for in the state. It is New Hampshire's ETPL, compiled by the Office of Workforce Opportunity and handed out through the twelve NH Works offices. New Hampshire Office of Workforce Opportunity (Department of Business and Economic Affairs) keeps it. A program has to be on the list, and lead to a job the local board calls in demand, before an NH Works office will issue an Individual Training Account for it. 572 New Hampshire programs are on the federal index, including 20 CDL, 11 CNA, and 3 LPN programs.
Capstone Workforce's free navigator checks your WIOA eligibility door in two minutes, and the $4.99 apply guide lists the New Hampshire programs in your field with the documents the state asks for, so you walk into intake with the program already picked.
What is on the New Hampshire list
| Program type | Programs in New Hampshire | What that means for funding |
|---|---|---|
| All listed programs | 572 | Every program the state reported to the federal index |
| CDL (Class A and B) | 20 | See the CDL guide for what boards pay |
| CNA | 11 | The most-funded short healthcare program |
| Phlebotomy | 11 | Four to twelve weeks, funded nearly everywhere |
| LPN or LVN | 3 | Funded where the program fits the board's length cap |
| RN (associate degree) | 4 | Funded by boards that allow two-year programs |
| BSN | none listed | Rarely funded; four years exceeds most caps |
Counts from the DOL ETA-9171 index at TrainingProviderResults.gov, counted by program name and credential in September 2026. The state's own list is the one a counselor funds from; the two usually match but the state list updates first.
New Hampshire is a single-state local area with one board, so there is no county-by-county list to sort out: the program your Career Navigator can fund in Berlin is the program they can fund in Nashua. One trap: the nscite.org address in older state documents no longer belongs to the state. Search training providers in NHWorks Job Match instead.
How to search the New Hampshire ETPL
- Use the state's own tool. Compiled by the Office of Workforce Opportunity and distributed through the NH Works offices; ask your Career Navigator and search training providers in NHWorks Job Match. The nscite.org address in older state documents no longer belongs to the state; do not use it.
- Cross-check the federal index. TrainingProviderResults.gov lists the same programs with the completion rate, employment rate, and median earnings each provider reported. Two schools teaching the same credential can differ by 30 points on completion.
- Ask your counselor which listed programs the board funds. The list is statewide; the money is local. No fixed statewide cap; Office of Workforce Opportunity policy applied by the Career Navigator against your assessment and program cost, the same in every office.
- Check the exact program, not just the school. A college can have four programs listed and six not. WIOA pays only for the listed one.
How WIOA pays for a program on the New Hampshire list
- Find your center. The New Hampshire WIOA guide covers intake, documents, and timing in the state.
- Register in NHWorks Job Match.
- Go to your NH Works office and ask for the WIOA Career Navigator; the navigators are employed by Southern New Hampshire Services and sit inside the offices. Statewide line 603-224-3311.
- Complete eligibility and an assessment.
- Choose a program on the state ETPL and receive the ITA, or on-the-job training if that fits better.
WIOA is a grant. You do not pay it back if you finish the program. The national application guide covers the six steps in detail, and the occupation guides cover what boards typically pay for CDL, CNA, LPN, phlebotomy, and the trades.

How a training provider gets on the New Hampshire ETPL
The Office of Workforce Opportunity takes applications from schools, checks them against NH Employment Security records, and sends the list out to the NH Works offices with each program's cost and results attached.
Initial eligibility asks for the program's credential, length, cost, and the occupation it leads to. Continued eligibility asks for outcomes. Not published as a public cadence. New Hampshire distributes the list through its offices rather than posting a recertification calendar, so the Career Navigator holds the current version.
Registered apprenticeship sponsors are listed automatically on request in every state; the apprenticeship guide covers that path.
Before your intake appointment
Rehearse your New Hampshire WIOA intake appointment: $6.99 for 7 days
The counselor's first question is usually this one: "Why this training, and how will you get to class every day for the length of the program?" Your answer at that appointment decides your funding. Practice it and the rest of the visit out loud for 7 days. The AI plays the counselor and scores how clear you were. One payment, nothing renews.

What staying on the list requires: the reporting
Every listed program reports the same federal measures each year: how many participants completed, how many were employed in the second and fourth quarters after exit, their median earnings, and how many earned the credential. States pull employment and earnings from wage records; providers supply completions and credentials. A program that misses the state's minimum levels comes off the list, and a provider that misses the reporting deadline comes off with it.
The two numbers providers most often cannot produce on demand are credential attainment inside the one-year window and a verified placement record. The credential attainment guide and the six-indicator guide cover what each requires.
