Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) System - Wayne Community College offers training under the WIOA system. The program is especially designed for individuals who require skill training in order to obtain employment. All individuals enrolled in the WIOA program must qualify under program guidelines.

Services offered through the WIOA Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Out-of-School Youth Programs:

Core Services - Includes outreach, job search and placement assistance, and labor market information available to all job seekers.

Intensive Services - Includes more comprehensive assessments, development of individual employment plans, and counseling and career planning.

Training Services - Participants are linked to job opportunities in their communities, including both occupational training and training in basic skills. Participants use an “individual training account” to select an appropriate training program from a qualified training provider.
