6 Who can I talk to about available career pathways 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 and Opportunity Act. What training options are available under the 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 certificate, 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 shortterm continuing education classes may allow you the opportunity to enter/re-enter the workforce in a shorter time frame. 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. 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. 6 NCWorks career center powered by Eastern Carolina WDB

7 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. 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 toward 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. We have added the estimated wages for each of the approved training programs on pages of this guide. For additional information, visit and look under the labor market information link for wage information. What if I am not qualified for the WIOA program? Most colleges provide scholarship and financial aid options.
