Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)
Through the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA) the goals of Workforce Development staff are to assist you with obtaining employment. Workforce Development staff will work with you to create a resume, engage in job search activities, and practice your interviewing skills. We will listen to your interests and goals to provide guidance as to what steps can be taken to meet your occupational goals. If gainful employment cannot be located after working intensively with your career advisor, then your career advisor may suggest pursuing a short-term training program of 2 years or less. During the WIOA orientation session, you can expect to learn an overview of the services and requirements.
To learn more, call or visit the OhioMeansJobs Richland Center.
