Workforce Investment Act (WIA)
The Workforce Investment Act program invests in youth who are already heads of households, providing a pathway to family economic success by encouraging them to stay in school and make plans to continue on to higher levels of education or permanent employment. Addressing such barriers as childcare, transportation, and other needs, WIA provides job readiness and occupational skills training, along with job placement, job retention, and job advancement skills both in-house and in collaboration with other organizations. A G.E.D. component is included in program services.No fees are charged to participants.
