What Is Workforce Funding?
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act—commonly known as WIOA—is a federally funded program designed to help people get trained for careers that are in demand right now. It’s one of the most valuable resources available to job seekers, and many people don’t even know it exists.
The program is administered through your local county workforce office. If you’re eligible, WIOA can cover your full tuition, books, learning materials, supplies, and even certification exam fees—at no cost to you.
Here’s the best part: this is a grant, not a loan. You never have to pay it back.
Access Computer Training is an approved training provider, which means WIOA funds can be used directly at ACT for eligible programs in IT, cybersecurity, business applications, and more.
