Grants Available to Indiana Residents
There are several programs that can pay for your training. Here's what each one offers and who qualifies.
WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act)
This is the main federal program that pays for career training. It's designed for adults who need new skills to get a good job. WIOA covers your tuition, books, supplies, certification exams, and can even help with transportation and childcare.
You likely qualify if you:
- • Are 18 or older
- • Can legally work in the US
- • Have low-to-moderate income
- • Receive SNAP, TANF, or SSI
- • Are a veteran or military spouse
- • Were recently laid off
Workforce Ready Grant (Indiana)
This is Indiana's state grant for high-demand careers. It's specifically for programs that lead to jobs employers are hiring for right now — like healthcare, IT, and skilled trades.
Requirements:
- • Be an Indiana resident
- • Have a high school diploma or GED
- • Enroll in an eligible high-demand program
SNAP Employment & Training

You qualify if you:
- • Currently receive SNAP benefits
- • Are able and willing to work
- • Want to gain skills for a better job
JRI (Justice Reinvestment Initiative)
Everyone deserves a second chance. JRI funding helps justice-involved individuals get career training and support services to build a stable future. We believe in your potential.
This program is for you if:
