WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act)

President Barack Obama signed the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) into law on July 22, 2014. WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy. Congress passed the Act by a wide bipartisan majority; it is the first legislative reform in 15 years of the public workforce system.

There are several different agencies at the OCEE authorized to provide training and support funds through WIOA.  Contact anyone below for more information.
