What Is WIOA?\n\nThe Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act supports workforce services for eligible adults, dislocated workers, youth, and other eligible populations. In Indiana, WorkOne and the responsible workforce entities administer participant eligibility and training authorization.\n\n## Provider Status Is Not Participant Approval\n\nA training provider can have eligible program records while an individual participant still requires a separate eligibility determination and written authorization. Likewise, not every program offered by a provider is automatically WIOA eligible.\n\n## What Costs May Be Authorized?\n\nAllowable costs depend on the specific program, local policy, participant need, available funding, and written authorization. Tuition, required materials, examinations, or supportive services may be considered when the responsible workforce agency approves them. Elevate does not guarantee the amount or scope of an award.\n\n## How to Proceed\n\n1. Review the exact program and its published tuition and requirements.\n2. Contact your local WorkOne or responsible workforce office.\n3. Complete the workforce eligibility process.\n4. Confirm the specific program is eligible for the requested funding source.\n5. Obtain written authorization before treating the enrollment as funded.\n6. Complete Elevate admissions and onboarding requirements.\n\nA website form, eligibility checker, or provider relationship does not create an Individual Training Account or other funding award.\n\nReview WIOA guidance or start the student application.
