What is specific to Wyoming
- Wyoming calls its list the recognized list of training programs eligible for WIOA training dollars. Providers must apply and be approved before they are listed.
- Registered Apprenticeship programs approved by the Office of Apprenticeship are automatically eligible.
- Wyoming observes reciprocity with other states' lists, so WIOA funds may be used with an out-of-state program, which matters in a state with long distances to some training.
