Virginia's Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act

Virginia's Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) aims to enhance the state's workforce development system. It promotes collaboration between educational institutions, businesses, and community organizations to improve job training and employment opportunities. WIOA focuses on helping individuals gain skills that are in demand in the job market, ensuring that employers have access to a skilled workforce. This initiative also emphasizes support for disadvantaged groups, including youth and those with barriers to employment, enabling them to achieve economic independence and build strong careers.
