TAA and WIA Funding

Training Information for the Unemployed and Dislocated Worker

TAA and WIA

The Federal Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program and Workforce Investment Act (WIA) are occupational training programs funded by federal and state agencies for dislocated workers who have lost their jobs. The goal of these assistance programs is to help the unemployed find a new position in a field that offers promising career opportunities.

Dislocated workers should work with their local CareerLink office to determine eligibility and gain referral to Keystone College. Once the dislocated worker is determined eligible, he or she must go through the College’s admission and financial aid process.

To find out more about these programs, please contact your local Pennsylvania CareerLink office.

Trehab

The TREHAB Community Action Agency provides workforce development services for the unemployed and underemployed in six rural Pennsylvania counties. Adult and dislocated worker programs are funded by the Department of Labor through WIA to provide career counseling, pre-vocational preparation, basic skills improvement, on-the-job training, occupational skills training and job search assistance.

To find out more about these programs, please visit the TREHAB website.
