Did you know that the Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA) provides funding for Career Training Programs?

WIOA is a no-cost employment program designed to provide job seekers the skills training and support they need to find a high-demand job.  WIOA may also provide:

  • Funding for occupational training services (tuition, textbooks, tools, supplies, clothing/work uniforms, certification payments/exams)
  • Employment search assistance
  • Job readiness assistance
  • Child care assistance while in training
  • Career exploration and assessments
  • Individualized career management

What kind of training is eligible for funding?

To ensure individuals who receive training find jobs, WIOA only provides funding for training in occupations with good earnings potential and in growing industries.  Your regional workforce office will have a list of in-demand occupations to ensure your training is in alignment with the needs of local employers.  World Education’s partner colleges are WIOA approved training providers and feature vetted training that is funding eligible.

What are the eligibility requirements?

WIOA funds are distributed to each state annually and eligibility requirements can vary.  A “CareerOneStop” or your local workforce career center can provide guidance on qualifications.  Contact the World Education team today for more resources on how to get started.

  • EMPLOYER EDUCATION TUITION ASSISTANCE

    Tuition reimbursement is an employee benefit. When you work for a company with a tuition reimbursement or tuition assistance program, you can enjoy some serious educational expense savings. Some companies even provide up to 100% of tuition covered! Companies that offer tuition reimbursement typically agree to pay a set amount or percentage of your tuition and other education expenses for a degree or certificate program. Typically, your employer will require you to pay upfront. And once you complete the course, you can submit a form to your company to get reimbursed in a future paycheck. Connect with your HR department today to inquire more about this benefit!
