Workforce Innovation and Opportunity (WIOA)

Northern California Nursing Academy is a California Eligible Training Provider. Our programs are eligible to receive WIOA Title I-B funds. If you are unemployed or a recipient of welfare benefits, you may be eligible for these funds.

WIOA is designed to strengthen and improve our nation's public workforce system and help get Americans, including youth and those with significant barriers to employment, into high-quality jobs and careers through education, training, and supportive services and help employers hire and retain skilled workers. Every year the key programs that form the pillars of WIOA help tens of millions of job seekers and workers to connect to good jobs and acquire the skills and credentials needed to obtain them.

Core Programs

WIOA brings together, in strategic coordination, the core programs of Federal investment in skill development:

  • Employment and training services for adults and dislocated workers.
  • Adult education and literacy programs and Vocational Rehabilitation state grant programs that assist individuals with disabilities in obtaining employment administered by the Department of Education (DoED).

WIOA also authorizes programs for specific vulnerable populations, including the Job Corps, YouthBuild, Indian and Native Americans, and Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker programs as well as evaluation and multistate projects administered by DOL. In addition, WIOA authorizes other programs administered by DoED and the Department of Health and Human Services.
