| The Workforce Investment Act provides for “customer
choice” when an eligible individual requires training to become employed in a
regional demand occupation. Current certified training providers offer numerous
training programs throughout the region to eligible customers. The programs
range from two-year Associate Degrees to short-term certification, i.e,
commercial truck driver.
Training is accomplished by issuing an Individual Training
Account (ITA) to an eligible customer. The ITA can fund up to $4,000 for a
twelve-month training period. Eligible customers must choose from a training
program offered by a Workforce Investment Board Certified Training Provider that
meets the U.S. Department of Labor criteria as an In-Demand-Occupation for Region
VII.
Take time and browse through the below training providers
for a listing of program offerings. To determine if you may be eligible for
Workforce Investment Board sponsored training, contact the Workforce WV Career Center nearest
you.
