Our Mission and Vision
Workforce Investment Solutions, through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity
Act (WIOA), promotes training and education for occupations in high-growth/high-
demand industries for Macon and DeWitt Counties. Funding through the WIOA
program is administered through Macon County, who is the grant recipient. All
funds are administered through Macon County.
Our focus is training individuals on a career pathway for self-sufficiency. Training
may include, classroom training, work experiences, on-the-job training, or career
services (job search, interview skills etc.). The goal is to strengthen the workforce
in Macon and DeWitt counties in order to become economically competitive and to
assist local employers with their needs for a workforce.
WIOA funding is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, and
support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the
skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy.
