WIOA Grant Program

The Direct Access Program addresses smaller-scale training needs by making training slots available free of charge to businesses that are eligible for the Workforce Training Fund.

Businesses should consider the program when:

• Their workforce is smaller than 100 and in need training for current technologies.
• Training needs cannot be easily met by with in-house funding.

Individuals should consider the program when:

• They’re currently unemployed or under employed.
• They’re working in manufacturing and need to enhance their skills.
