Video: Steps to take for a successful virtual interview.
What is WIOA?
​​The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) helps job seekers succeed in the labor market by providing access to employment, education, training, and support services while matching employers with skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy.
Who can WIOA help?
Many people qualify for WIOA funded activities. Customers may be eligible for training to update current skills or learn skills for a new career if their present occupation is not in demand.
What is the approval process for WIOA Customers?
The process includes completing paperwork and providing documents to validate eligibility criteria. Prospective customers will meet with a WIOA Team Member at one of the job centers, who will help guide them through the process.
