Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) 

As the designated administrator of Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) programs in Milwaukee County, Employ Milwaukee oversees the workforce system that provides job seekers and workers with services to help them successfully meet the skill requirements of local employers. Job seekers and workers who participate in WIOA are paired with a Career Planner who uses assessment tools and develops an action plan for the participant’s career success. WIOA programs use local Labor Market Information as a cornerstone for ensuring that action plans will produce outcomes for the participant while providing local employers with the skilled workforce they need to remain competitive in a global economy.
