The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) under the direction of the Workforce Investment Board (WIB) has Out-Of-School funds available to assist eligible youth. You in high school should become aware of this opportunity should they plan on post-secondary education following graduation. Attached you will find a scanned brochure that explains the eligibility criteria and services offered through WIA.
In order to qualify for WIA Out-of-School services, youth must be ages 18-21, economically disadvantaged, live in the 12 county service area (listed on the brochure), and meet other eligibility criteria. Students may attend approved technical and proprietary schools to receive funding.
