GA Workforce Investment Act Programs

The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) was signed into law in August 1998 and implemented on July 1, 2000. It prompted a new approach to delivering employment and training services throughout Georgia. The WIA is designed to assist youth and adult job seekers in becoming employable in a self-sufficient occupation of their interest, in order to meet the needs of local employers.

The WIA system has created "one-stop centers" where various human service organizations are represented to assist job seekers and employers alike. Available services at no cost to customers include core services such as career counseling, exploration of training/education offerings, job search, job matching financial aid application, etc. In some instances, occupational classroom training, on-the-job training, customized training, etc., may also be available at no cost. Job seekers can access and browse occupational skills training programs approved for Individual Training Account (ITA) funding.

Specific information about the One-Stop system in Georgia may be found in the GA One-Stop Career Network topic.

NOTE: Detailed information about WIA in Georgia is available at the Georgia Department of Labor web pages shown below.
