Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) is landmark legislation designed to strengthen the public workforce system to help residents, including youth and those with significant barriers to employment, obtain high-quality jobs and careers, while also helping employers hire and retain skilled workers. Massachusetts has been established as a model of how inter-agency cooperation results in a stronger workforce and economy.
