Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act

Also called: WIOA, W.I.O.A., Workforce Innovation Act, WIOA funding, Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act, wee oh ah

A US federal law, signed in 2014, that funds the public workforce system: job search help, education, training and support services for job seekers, and help for employers looking for skilled workers. States must align their main workforce programs under it. In Oklahoma, part of the money pays for eligible people to train with approved training providers.

For example: A coding school that wants students to pay with WIOA training funds applies to be on Oklahoma's list of eligible training providers.
