WIOA

WIOA, or the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, is a U.S. law enacted in 2014 that aims to improve workforce development by connecting job seekers with education, training, and support services. It encourages collaboration among government agencies, employers, and training providers to create a more skilled and adaptable workforce. WIOA focuses on helping individuals gain the skills needed for available jobs, especially those with barriers to employment, and ensuring local communities have the resources to support economic growth and labor market needs. It ultimately promotes a more efficient, equitable approach to workforce development.
