The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) is an employment and training program designed to provide services that will increase skills for adults and youth that will result in employment and an increase in earnings. WIA offers education and job training programs that can help in overcoming employment barriers.
Rapid changes in the marketplace dictate that South Dakota adapt its training system to meet the changing demands of the state's employers. WIA helps people acquire skills to work with new technology, it assists workers who've lost their jobs because of shifts in the economy or changing consumer demands and it works with social service agencies to help individuals and families make the break from public assistance and support themselves. The goal of WIA is to train participants for an occupation with a "career ladder" or room for advancement.
Adults and youth needing employment or training may be eligible for WIA. Local Career Centers will determine if WIA is the right program for you. WIA is not an entitlement program, and selection for participation in the program is a local decision that is based on an assessment of your needs, interests, abilities, motivation and the prospects for successfully completing the program. For more eligibility information, go to WIA Eligibility.
WIA is an individualized program. Depending on your education and employment needs a service plan will be designed with you that will allow you to make full use of the available services.
Services may include work readiness skills, such as interviewing tips or resume writing. Also available to participants is employment counseling to help you learn about jobs and what career opportunities may exist for you with the right education and training.
If needed, you may obtain help with basic skills education, studying for the GED, or completion of your high school diploma.
