What Is WIA? 

The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) is a federally funded training and job program that creates a new approach providing workforce investment activities through statewide and local systems.  Authorized workforce investment activities provided at the local level benefit job seekers, dislocated workers, youth, foster care participants, incumbent workers, new entrants to the workforce, veterans, persons with disabilities, and employers.  These activities promote an increase in employment, job retention, earnings, and occupational skill attainment by participants.  This improves the quality of the workforce, reduces welfare dependency, and enhances the productivity and competitiveness of the nation.
