Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)

SSG Appliance Academy is an eligible provider for the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) program with the State of Georgia. 

The  Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act is a federal grant that covers training expenses for individuals who have been laid off from employment, or whose household income is at or below the federal poverty level.  In addition, WIOA provides funding to economically disadvantaged adults, at-risk youth, and dislocated workers seeking training to increase or enhance skill levels to gain employment.
