How To Get Help
Contact an American Job Center and say you are interested in WIOA.
You will attend a WIOA orientation and eligibility meeting. Adults must have low incomes and lack job skills in demand now; or be a “dislocated worker” – you are laid off or have a layoff notice because of current economic situation (not leaving a job for personal reasons) and you need skills currently in demand.
