Who can I talk to about available training options?

Visit the NCWorks Career Center in your county. Each NCWorks Career Center

has professional staff available to discuss training options with you. If you are

unemployed, underemployed, or have been laid off from work, inquire about the

training opportunities that may be available under the Workforce Innovation

Opportunity Act.

What are my training options available under Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) program? There are a variety of training programs that have been approved by the

Eastern Carolina Workforce Development Board. On the following pages, you

will find the approved WIOA training programs that may lead to a

certif icate, diploma, or two-year degree. In addition, there are various

short-term continuing education classes that may be an option, depending upon

your unique situation, education, skills levels, and work experience. The flexibility

of short-term continuing education classes may allow you the opportunity to

enter/re-enter the workforce in a shorter time frame.

Preparation for the Career Readiness Certification, an assessment-based credential

that gives employers and career seekers a uniform measure of key workplace skills,

is available using Worldwide Interactive Network (WIN) courseware. WIN is a

self-paced, web-based, interactive program designed to prepare individuals to be

career and college ready. Contact your local NCWorks Career Center for

information on enrolling in WIN courseware.

What if the training program that I would like to pursue is not in the

training guide?

Regrettably, if a training program is not listed in the training guide, it is not

approved for WIOA funding at this time. Reasons may vary, such as the

training provider has not completed the application to be considered as an

approved provider, training is not in demand in the local area, the cost is too

high to be considered, the training provider is newly established with no

performance history or is outside of the region, training may not result in

employment, or estimated wages after training will not lead to self-sufficient

wage earnings, etc.

6

How much will it cost?

Cost is dependent upon the training program. At the NCWorks Career Center,

staff will review the variety of financial aid programs that are available.

If you are selected to participate in the WIOA program, an individual training

account (ITA) will be established for you in which your tuition, fees and

supplies may be paid through WIOA.

How long can I attend training?

Depending upon the training program, all approved training can usually be

completed within a two year period. Your WIOA career advisor will review

the course content with you and help you set some goals with timelines to

successfully complete the training. Under WIOA, all students must commit

to a full-time schedule, follow training provider’s class attendance

requirements and maintain above a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) to

participate in training.

What happens after training?

Simply put, the purpose of the WIOA program is Employment, Retention

and Earnings. If that is not your goal, then WIOA may not be the program

for you to consider at this time. Throughout your participation in a WIOA

approved training program, you will meet with your career advisor at least

once a month to discuss your progress and goals towards employment.

You will have the opportunity to build your resume and learn of potential job

opportunities. As a requirement for participating in the WIOA program, you

must commit to diligently seeking employment in your training field. There

are numerous job search resources available in the NCWorks Career Center

to help you meet your employment goals. All you have to do is take advantage

of them.

How much can I earn after training?

Become an informed consumer! Do as much research as possible before

committing to a training program. In the back of this guide, we have added the

estimated wages for each of the approved training programs on pages 18-20.

For additional information, visit www.ncworks.gov and look under the labor

market information link for wage information.
