Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act (WIOA)

WIOA is a federally funded program that supports the WorkSmart Network, which serves students living in Dodge, Sauk, Jefferson, Marquette, Columbia, and Dane counties. The program can provide eligible students, who are pursuing a degree in a high growth career field, with financial assistance to cover some of the cost of tuition, books, uniforms/equipment, childcare, and travel. Assistance with job placement, work experience, and on-the-job (OJT) training opportunities is also available to qualifying participants. Students are required to complete the FAFSA since the PELL Grant information is needed, and eligibility is based on program type (adults, dislocated workers, veterans, and youth) and the applicant’s individual situation. Please call Erin Johns at (920) 887-4459.

Assistance for the Disabled

The State Department of Rehabilitation provides financial help for eligible disabled students. Assistance may include cost of tuition, fees, books and transportation. Contact the Vocational Rehabilitation Office in your area for possible assistance.

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
