WIOA Program
WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) is a public law authorized by the 113th Congress in 2014 to help remove barriers for those who have trouble finding a high-quality career. WIOA Title IB programs are the only WIOA-authorized programs that use an Eligible Training Provider List as a source for identification of occupational skills training for eligible WIOA Title I program participants. This helps job seekers acquire industry-recognized credentials for in-demand jobs and provides the opportunity to leave the cycle of unemployment and into long-lasting careers.

To find more information about approved schools, visit benefits.gov, or reach out to your local American Job Center. When choosing a school it’s important to consider how it will fit in with your life. Consider online programs that work within your schedule and offer student support.
Workforce Approved Programs.
The WIOA provides funding for career training. When choosing a program you should be looking for short-term training for in-demand industries. Credentials are a great option because they typically only require 4 to 6 months of training and a certification exam. Credentials are also stackable, allowing you to build upon them and quickly grow your career.
Career Opportunities.
The ultimate goal of the WIOA program is to end the cycle of dead-end jobs and unemployment by providing you the training to build a lifelong career. This is why it’s so important to consider industries that are in demand with plenty of growth opportunities.
