Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)
If you’ve been out of work a while, and think that changing careers or building job skills could increase your earnings potential, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) might be able to help you pay for tuition, books, school supplies, uniforms, tools and more.
In order to take advantage of this program, you must contact one of the workforce development offices in your area. They’ll verify your eligibility and, if you qualify, set up your account. Then, if CCC has a program that meets your needs, just select us as your training provider and continue following the next steps.
