Will WIA pay for me to go back to school?  
While training is possible through the WIA program, applicants must first qualify. Eligibility is determined by attending an orientation, filing out an application and providing necessary documents. To sign up for orientation, contact the Moraine Valley Illinois workNet at 708-974-5738. The need for training is determined after a formal assessment with a case manager. Training is focused only on growing occupations and industries based on local labor market information, therefore some training programs may not be funded.
