WIA financial assistance can include payment for required school costs over and above tuition such as uniforms, special shoes, equipment, state board exam fees and even specialized tools for a job.

WIA funding is available irregularly based on state and area unemployment rates and other changing criteria set by the Department of Labor. The GNTC WIA Coordinators continually apply for funding and post announcements and notify teachers whenever funding for new participants is secured.
