KINDLY READ ALL "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) LISTED BELOW: They were developed in response to the most common, actual customer inquiries:
(For the application form itself, please scroll to the bottom of this page and click on the link provided)
Answer: The federal government allows us to subsidize tuition only for classes that prepare persons for high demand occupations. Federal law does not allow us to subsidize tuition if there are no jobs available in your field or if there are already students being trained to fill projected vacancies. Please be aware that even if you are providing training for high demand occupations, we cannot force people to sign up for your courses.
Answer: if you are reading this, then you are on our website and exactly where you need to be to locate the ETP application form. Yes, this is our only website -- www.owib.org.
Answer: Read the application form. You MUST provide verification of all licensure, tax, insurance, accreditation, ETC. that you are citing in your application -- this means that ATTACHMENTS ARE REQUIRED for ALL of these items. If any of these are missing, you application cannot be processed.
Answer: For ALL questions about DOE licensure, please call: the DOE Ed LICENSING Specialist, at 203-5511 ext. 2122
Answer: This information is now a part of the "Hawaii Compliance Express" form of the Hawaii State Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS) Please submit a "Hawaii Compliance Express" form with your application. The form must clearly state that you are in compliance with all federal and state taxes. We do not accept documents which indicate an inquiry was "submitted" to DAGS. Here is a link to the "Hawaii Compliance Express" -- https://vendors.ehawaii.gov/hce/splash/welcome.html All questions about the "Hawaii Compliance Express" form must be made directly to DAGs.
Answer: All insurance agents are familiar with this document. Please give your insurance agent the list of "insureds" listed in the application form. (Note: some of your insurance agents call it "Additional Insured," but others seem to call it something else). We are not insurance agents and will not answer insurance questions of any kind. -- please contact your insurance agent to ask what Certificate of Liability Insurance is and how to get such coverage.
The "Additional Insureds" -- as indicated above -- is located in the application form. See page 3 of 11.
Many insurance agents ask for an address to list with your "Additional Insureds." Please use this address: Hawaii State Department of Labor & Industrial Relations; 830 Punchbowl St.; Honolulu, HI 96813
Answer: You are the applicant and therefore ONLY YOU CAN MAKE CHANGES to your application form. Please do not ask your student or your neighbor or even us to make changes to your application. You are the applicant and you are the one certifying that everything in your application is true. If you wish to change anything on your application form, then you can send us a new application to replace, in whole, your former application.
Kindly accompany the "NEW" matrix with a very short cover memo indicating why you are sending us a course matrix. For example: "We are submitting for approval this new course matrix to replace our existing course matrix. This is because we _____added/deleted/changed/etc______ the following course(s)________"
Why a cover memo? Imagine if someone sent you a matrix in email with absolutely no explanation of why they were sending it to you -- the brief cover memo is merely a way of letting the recipient of your correspondence know why you are contacting them. Just two or three simple sentences will do it.
