Low-income, lower-skilled workers face more barriers than ever to securing an education and getting a good job. That’s why the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), the federal law governing our workforce training programs, is so critical. With good policy and smart investments, policymakers implementing WIOA can help low-income adults and youth improve their skills and climb the ladder economically.
