WIOA training opportunities

WIOA Training Opportunities
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy.  Cayuga Works Career Center and Cortland Works Career Center administer the WIOA training grant and can supply funding for education or training for in-demand occupations.  As this is a government funded grant, there are certain qualifiers to receive funding.  For example, the training must through an eligible training provider

Please note that as a government program there is a process you must complete, documentation to be collected, and items to which you must comply.  Therefore, leave yourself enough time before classes begin to complete the process and be willing to fully commit to the program.

On job train

On The Job Training

On the Job Training is a collaborative program between employer, employee and the Career Center.  The program allows you to learn while you earn. It is designed to help you improve skills, move up the career ladder, and/or secure a full time position.  On the Job Training is for occupations where classroom training is not available or not appropriate, and for specific jobs skills that can be learned while engaged in productive work. 

The training must be completed within six months, and the individual retained for a full time position.  An added bonus for employers: We subsidize some of the employees' wages! 


Think you might be a candidate?  Talk to your employer and have them contact their local Career Center for more information.
