The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was signed into law on July 22, 2014.

WIOA Funding to Support Apprenticeship Learn more about the common ways that employers can take advantage of WIOA funding to support apprenticeship. Related Training and Instruction Under WIOA, all classroom training is funded through individual training accounts (ITAs). Programs must be on the state’s eligible training provider list to take advantage of potential funding.
In addition to ITAs for individual apprentices, utilizing contracts for cohort training is also possible. On-the-job training (OJT) is funded through contracts, not ITAs. OJT contracts can cover one or multiple apprentices with the reimbursement for OJT typically at 50% of the apprentices’ wage rate.
WIOA formula funds can be utilized to provide a range of supportive services such as transportation and childcare. Also, if an ITA is used to fund the related training and instruction, the ITA can also be used to provide supportive services.
Learn More About WIOA Funding The U.S. Department of Labor publishes a Federal Resources Playbook for Registered Apprenticeship to help employers, sponsors, and career seekers understand the myriad ways that federal funding supports apprenticeship.

How WIOA Relates to Apprenticeship WIOA Title IB, administered by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA), provides funding to support workforce development programs for eligible Adults, Dislocated Workers, and Youth.
This funding is allotted to states based on a formula, generally administered through local Workforce Development Boards, and is supportive of apprenticeship because local Workforce Development Boards can use Title IB funds to help support the two primary components of apprenticeship programs: On-the-Job Learning (OJL), also referred to as On-the-Job Training (OJT), and Related Training and Instruction (RTI).
WIOA funding can also help provide support services necessary to enable individuals to successfully participate in apprenticeship programs such as tools, books, and uniforms. For more information visit our WIOA Adult Program , WIOA Youth Programs and Services , and WIOA Dislocated Worker Program pages.

Read articleFederal appropriators added $15 billion in new Pell Grant funding to the FY 2026 appropriations package on top of the standard appropriation level — a response to a structural shortfall that CBO scored at $5.4 billion in FY 2026 and $11.5 billion in FY 2027. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget projects a cumulative gap of $61 billion to $97 billion through 2035 even after the one-time fix. Meanwhile, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act expanded eligibility to short-term Workforce Pell programs, adding $2 to $6 billion in new costs. The Pell program is the foundation of need-based federal student aid, but the structural mismatch between rising costs and appropriations is a permanent feature now.
