The Workforce Investment Act is a federally funded voluntary program designed to help disadvantaged youth obtain financial support for education, employment and training. The funds are based on eligibility, and require the submission of a completed application with all required documentation and signed forms. Once your application is accepted, you'll be invited to attend an orientation meeting.

There are several eligibility areas:

• Food Stamp Recipient
• Foster Child or Homeless
• TANF/Public Assistance
• Low Income
• Individuals with a Disability

Before you can begin the process, you must be registered with Connecting Colorado and
