WIOA Tuition Assistance
The “Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act” or “WIOA” (which supersedes WIA), provides federal funds to states to help job seekers, workers, and businesses with career services, job training, and education.
How To Get Help
Contact an American Job Center and say you are interested in WIOA.
You are required to participate in a WIOA orientation and eligibility meeting. Eligible adults are those with low incomes who lack job skills currently in demand, or those classified as “dislocated workers” – individuals who have been laid off or received a layoff notice due to the prevailing economic conditions (not due to personal reasons) and require skills that are presently sought after.
