Can WIA pay for training?
Potential resources available to students in Georgia include Workforce Investment Act (WIA) funds, Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE), Pell, assistance from entities serving specific populations (e.g., persons receiving Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), older workers, youth) scholarships, and grants. A career advisor at a GDOL career center or other One-Stop Center can help you explore available resources, eligibility criteria, schools and programs, career options, and all of the other things you need to consider before making an application for training. The career advisor will also introduce you to the Individual Training Account (ITA) Eligible Provider/Program List that displays the training programs in Georgia eligible for WIA funding.
