KADA 2025000011 - ETPL and Credential Registry Database Solution

CWDC is seeking proposals from qualified Respondents to establish state eligibility criteria, information requirements, and procedures for education and training Providers to be eligible for and receive WIOA funds for the provision of these approved education and training services or Eligible Training in the State’s 10 federally-recognized Local Workforce Areas (LWAs).
Approved Providers and approved Eligible Training is publicized as the Eligible training Provider List (ETPL), which includes WIOA Performance Indicators.

Additionally, the ETPL will evolve into a comprehensive credential registry. This credential registry will display training Providers that wish to complete the
prescribed approval process to be displayed on the ETPL + Credential Registry but may not be eligible for WIOA funding. This Credential Registry will use
linked, open interoperable data about credentials and competencies through use of the Credential Transparency Description Language (CTDL). Credentials
are understood to include diplomas, digital badges, micro-credentials, certificates, apprenticeships, certifications, licenses, and degrees of all types
and levels.

The current ETPL System was implemented in 2016 and the current Contract expires June 30, 2024. The current ETPL System and its associated Contracts
have been managed by the Colorado Department of Higher Education (CDHE) in partnership with other state agencies, including the Colorado Department of
Labor and Employment (CDLE) and the Colorado Workforce Development Council (CWDC).
