WIOA seeks to increase opportunities for individuals, especially those facingbarriers to employment, and invests in the imperative connection between education and the career preparation.Planning regions have been created based on state labor market areas, regional economic development areas, andfunding mechanisms for educational centers including colleges, universities, and CareerTechs.
