Ditch the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Grind and Get Career Training at Zero Cost to You

If you’re tired of dead-end jobs and living paycheck to paycheck, it’s time to do something about it. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) can help you take control of your future. This government-backed program, funded by the Department of Labor and the Department of Education, offers grants that pay for the training you need to step into a solid career—without piling up debt.

How WIOA Works:

  • Who Pays for It?
    The WIOA program is funded by the government to help people like you get the skills needed for better-paying jobs. That means no out-of-pocket tuition costs for you.

  • How Do I Know If I Qualify?
    The best way to find out is through your local American Job Center (AJC). They’ll check if you’re eligible and help you get started with WIOA funding.

  • How Much Can I Get?
    The amount of funding you receive depends on where you live and how much is available in your area. But rest assured, if you qualify, WIOA will cover the cost of your training.

  • When Can I Start?
    Once you’re approved and the paperwork is done, you can start training almost right away. With programs starting every week, you won’t be stuck waiting.
