WIOA Grants (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act)
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, or WIOA, improves and educates our public workforce system and helps individuals get into high-quality jobs or career paths. Simultaneously, it also helps employers hire and retain skilled workers for their companies. WIOA ensures that the unemployed have access to high-quality workforce services, as well as helping job seekers acquire industry-recognized credentials for in-demand jobs. WIOA Grants help drive economic growth and initiate business expansion by ensuring the workforce system is job-driven and can match employers with skilled individuals. The federal government provides significant funding to states for workforce system programs covered by WIOA Grants. Federal funding is also provided through competitive grants. If you’ve been approved for WIOA Grants or training funds, your training may be completely supported by the government – with no out-of-pocket costs to you.
WIOA combines the core programs of Federal investment in skill development…
– Employment services and/or training for adults, dislocated workers, and youth and Wagner-Peyser employment services administered by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) through formula grants to states.
– Adult education and family literacy programs – as well as State Vocational Rehabilitation Services programs that assist eligible individuals with disabilities in obtaining employment; both core programs are administered by the U.S. Department of Education.
– WIOA can also authorize programs for certain vulnerable populations, including (but not limited to) the Job Corps, YouthBuild, Indian and Native Americans, and Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker programs. WIOA additionally authorizes other programs administered by U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

They also offer several types of grants to support the varied training needs of businesses across Massachusetts.
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
The Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Program, or Trade Act, is a federal program that aids workers who have lost their jobs, received decreased work hours, or experienced wage reduction as a result of increased imports. Trade Act tends to provide assistance to workers who have been adversely affected by foreign trade with the opportunities to obtain the skills, credentials, resources, and support necessary to become re-employed. Benefits include training, job search allowances, job relocation allowances, trade readjustment allowances (TRA), and more. If you qualify for Trade Act training funds, your training may be completely supported by the government – with no out-of-pocket costs to you.
Vocational Rehabilitation Grants
This program is designed to provide Vocational Rehabilitation services to individuals with disabilities, consistent with their strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, capabilities, interests, and informed choice – so that they can prepare for competitive integrated employment and achieve economic self-sufficiency. Eligible individuals are those who have a physical or mental impairment that results in a substantial impediment to employment, who can benefit from Vocational Rehabilitation services for employment, and who require VR services.
