WIOA Services
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, or WIOA, is a legislation act signed in 2014 designed to strengthen and improve the public workforce system by helping people overcome barriers to employment and education. Our regional team is supported by the Workforce Development Board of South Central Wisconsin, with funding from the Department of Labor. Our region serves residents in the counties of Columbia, Dane, Dodge, Jefferson, Marquette, and Sauk, and partners with local, non-profit agencies and technical colleges to make up the “WorkSmart Network.”
