Broomfield Workforce Center
Workforce Investment Act (WIA)
The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) was designed to meet the needs of both a job seeker trying to further their career and for employers looking for qualified applicants for their jobs. Federal WIA funds are allocated to local Workforce Regions to design programs and services that best meet the needs of the local labor market.
The goal of WIA is to help you acquire marketable skills that will lead to gainful employment. WIA can assist in paying up to $3,000 for short-term training of one year or less.
Before applying for the WIA program at the Broomfield Workforce Center:
► Register as a
job seeker through

and identify your needed skills or certifications.
If you don't know what type of job you're
interested in, the Workforce Center has resources
available to help you. Please call (303) 464-5855 for more
information.
► Meet with a Workforce Specialist at
the Broomfield Workforce Center to review the local labor market.

in your career field, please

the
Broomfield Workforce Center and sign up to attend
a WIA Orientation.
