WIOA Training Grants: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how WIOA training grants provide funding for vocational training and certifications to help you gain new job skills.

WIOA training grants provide financial support to help people gain the skills needed for new or better employment.

Who it's for

This program is designed for workers who have lost their jobs or for individuals who need specific skills training to enter the workforce.

What you get

You can receive funding to pay for vocational training or to earn professional certifications that help you qualify for different career paths.

What it costs you

While the funding itself is provided by the government, you will need to invest time into the process. You are required to meet with staff at a local American Job Center to discuss your options.

The catch to know

Because there is a set amount of money available, the funding is limited and competitive. You may have to compete with others to secure the grant.

How to apply

  1. Locate your nearest American Job Center.
  2. Schedule a meeting with a representative to discuss your training needs.
  3. Complete the required assessment and application process.
  4. Follow the guidance provided by the center to secure your funding.
