Services We Can Offer You
WORKFORCE INNOVATION AND OPPORTUNITY ACT – ADULT PROGRAM
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) offers an integrated and comprehensive range of services consisting of workforce development activities benefiting job seekers—adults, dislocated workers, youth, incumbent workers, new entrants to the workforce, veterans, individuals with disabilities—and employers.
WIOA’s objective is to meet employers’ needs by increasing employment, job retention, earnings, and occupational skills among all job seeker populations. Job seekers first must meet WIOA eligibility requirements to receive WIOA-funded services. More information on the WIOA program may be found by speaking with or visiting a Career Services Specialist located at one of the the Virginia Career Works Center(s) in the region.
WORKFORCE INNOVATION AND OPPORTUNITY ACT – YOUTH PROGRAM
Eligible youth between the ages of 14–24 will be prepared for post-secondary educational opportunities or employment. All youth programs link academic and occupational learning.
