Occupational Skills Training

Through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), we may be able to fund eligible individuals with short-term skills training or on-the-job training to prepare for in-demand careers. WIOA is designed to help individuals' access employment, education, training, and supportive services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy. Training may be made available to individuals after completion of an Application for Training with eligibility documentation, and a pre/post-test formalized assessment.

The goal of any training through WIOA is to lead to an industry-recognized certification, license, credential, or degree, and should lead individual to employment at a self-sufficient wage. All training must be less than 24 months, with an emphasis on 9-12 month programs. WIOA training must be provided through an eligible training provider on the Workforce Inventory of Education and Training system.
