WIOA CNA training voucher
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) is the federal law that funds job training through about 2,400 American Job Centers nationwide; eligible adults, dislocated workers and youth can receive an Individual Training Account that pays tuition for short term occupational training such as a CNA program at a state approved eligible training provider. Each local workforce board sets its own eligibility priorities and funding limits.
