Historically, when we refer to WIOA, we tend to describe only a part of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). In Wisconsin, we are all WIOA, a combination of four different Title and multiple partner programs. These programs include Vocational Rehabilitation, Job Service, Adult Basic Ed or GED partners, Veterans Employment, TAA, and the Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth Programs.
These programs are all part of WIOA and are designed to work together. One of the visions of WIOA is that we connect our clients to the right program, with the right services, at the right time. Knowing who and what programs are a part of WIOA is key to making these connections.
An Introduction to WIOA was created to help us become more familiar with WIOA as a whole, as well as each WIOA program individually, so we can better help our clients find their path to success. This training is for all WIOA partners and staff, both new and experienced. Visit the Knowledge Center on the WIOA website to view An Introduction to WIOA.
This training was created by the WIOA Integrated Service Delivery Communications Team. It will be updated to include the new 2020-2023 WIOA State Plan Partners in the next few months. Visit WIOA.Wisconsin.gov to learn more about the 2020-2023 WIOA State Plan and new partners and find other WIOA resources.
