The “Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act” or “WIOA” (which supersedes WIA), provides federal funds to states to help job seekers, workers and businesses with career services, job training and education (as of July 1, 2015).

Career services include unemployment and job search assistance, information on the job market, job readiness, career planning and counseling, programs for non-English speakers, financial aid, supportive services and financial literacy.

Job seekers can get employment, education, training, and support to succeed in the job market and increase wages.  The program also matches employers with the skilled workers they need.
