National Training Service Agreement

The National Training Service Agreement (NTSA) is used by the industry as a means to fund a company's training program. Contractors voluntarily contribute 15 cents per craft-labor hour to an individual account that NCCER establishes and maintains for the contractor. Thirteen cents is directly reimbursed to the contractor for approved training and workforce development expenditures, while the remaining two cents supports NCCER’s workforce development efforts and industry advancement of craft training. This funding mechanism provides independent third-party verification that funds are applied only to training-related activities.
