The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) is a federal program that was signed into law in July 2014 and went into effect in Georgia in July 2015. WIOA is the nation’s principal workforce development legislation, providing funds to address the employment and training needs of dislocated workers, low-income adults and youth to ultimately help Georgia businesses meet the needs of today and the future.
The vision of WIOA is to increase access and opportunities to employment, education, training, and support services to COA Residents. WIOA aims to promote stronger alignment of workforce, education, vocational rehabilitation, and other human services systems to improve the structure and delivery of services to the unemployed, underemployed, and business community.
