Request to be Eligible Training Provider
The Workforce Development Board (WDB) of Northwest Georgia is accepting applications for Training Provider Agreements under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) for training services to eligible adults, older youth, ages 18-24, and dislocated workers for the Northwest Georgia WIOA Region which includes the counties of Bartow, Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Fannin, Floyd, Gilmer, Gordon, Haralson, Murray, Paulding, Pickens, Polk, Walker, and Whitfield.
Applications should include programs of training services or courses of study requested for approval. Approval will result in a Training Provider Agreement which will provide reimbursement only for tuition and other approved individual costs such as books, supplies, and entrance fees. Training included in the application must exist at the time of application and courses must be currently available.
Provider applications must be approved by the WDB and will then be forwarded to the Technical College System of Georgia, Office of Workforce Development, for review. Upon finalization of review by the Technical College System of Georgia, Office of Workforce Development, the training provider and its approved programs will be included on the State Eligible Provider List as published throughout statewide One-Stop Centers. Applications are accepted throughout the program year but referrals to selected training providers are based upon availability of federal funds.

reentry simulation
On April 18, 2023, Worksource Northwest Georgia and Northwest Georgia IWorks joined a Reentry Simulation sponsored by the Rome-Floyd County Library, LivingProof Recovery, the Reentry Services Division of the Department of Community Supervision, the United Way of Rome & Floyd County, and the Department of Sociology & Anthropology of Berry College.
This activity was designed by the U.S. Department of Justice to simulate the challenges faced by people transitioning from incarceration into society. In this simulation, participants experienced firsthand a small sample of how individuals returning to the community after incarceration navigate life within the first month of their reentry.
We greatly appreciate our community assisting us in making this experience a great learning experience. If your company or agency is interested in collaborating on the next simulation experience, please message us!
