The short answer
In Indiana, you apply for WIOA through WorkOne Centers, the state's American Job Centers. The program is run by the Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD). WIOA can only pay for programs on the Indiana eligible training provider list, and your local center decides what it funds.
Who runs WIOA in Indiana
In Indiana, WIOA services are delivered at WorkOne Centers, organized by region. The Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD) oversees WIOA statewide, and Indiana Career Connect is the state job matching site.

Common questions
What is the difference between INTraining and the ETP list?
INTraining lists every program that meets basic state standards. The Eligible Training Provider list is a smaller set that also meets WIOA demand and performance criteria. WIOA can only fund ETP programs.
Where do I apply for WIOA in Indiana?
At a WorkOne Center. DWD lists WorkOne centers by region on its WorkOne locations page.
How much will WIOA pay for training in Indiana?
It depends on your local workforce board. Federal rules let state and local boards cap the amount and length of training accounts, so the limit can differ within Indiana. Your career planner can tell you the local cap.
Can I apply for WIOA in Indiana through a school or this site?
No. Schools can tell you whether a program is approved, and our form can connect you with training providers, but only WorkOne Centers can enroll you in WIOA and approve funding.
