What kinds of programs are authorized by WIA?
WIA Title I authorizes and funds a number of employment and training programs in California. These programs help to prepare Californians to participate in the state’s workforce by increasing their employment and earnings potential, improve their educational and occupations skills, and, in some cases, reduced their dependency on public assistance. Workforce investment activities authorized by WIA are provided to serve two primary customer groups: • Job Seekers, including dislocated workers, youth, incumbent workers, and new entrants to the workforce; and • Employers looking for effective workers to fill the jobs they offer.
