In order to be placed on the list of WIA Approved Training Programs, prospective institutions and organizations have to apply for and receive certification by one or more local workforce boards to provide education and training to persons awarded Individual Training Accounts under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA).

The information provided here is for programs that have received approval by a Regional Workforce Development Board and the Connecticut Department of Labor. Certification and inclusion of programs on this list was based on information submitted to the Regional Boards by the training providers. Training providers' programs are subject to removal from the list of WIA Approved Training Programs if they intentionally supply inaccurate information or fail to maintain standards required for approval. Viewers are encouraged to review the list prior to enrolling in a program to ensure that a training provider is eligible to enroll persons and to receive WIA training funds.

Inclusion of information regarding any program of training services or any institution, organization or individual providing training services is in no way an endorsement of that program, institution, organization or individual. Further, the information included on this list was supplied by the Regional Workforce Development Boards, who obtained it directly from the training providers, and the accuracy of the information is not guaranteed. Viewers are requested to report to their Regional Boards any inaccuracies found in the information.

General inquiries regarding information provided on the list for programs in your area should also be directed to the Regional Workforce Development Board  in your area.

Training providers who offer programs under the same program type are listed in alphabetical order. The order of listing does not reflect any preference on the part of a Regional Workforce Development Board or the Connecticut Department of Labor. Viewers who will be using a WIA Individual Training Account voucher are encouraged to review the information on each program in consultation with their employment counselor.

If a training provider has a Web site, electronic links to the Web site are provided to help you access additional information that may be important to you when choosing your training option. No effort is made by the Connecticut Department of Labor or the Regional Workforce Development Boards to validate any information on the training providers' Web sites.

The cost information displayed may represent only the dollar amount, per student, for in-district/in-state tuition and required fees for the program. Additional costs may apply, including expenses for out-of-district or out-of-state tuition, non-required fees, books, equipment, materials and supplies, tools, uniforms or living expenses.

In addition, a student's total cost of training may be affected by the program length, enrollment status (part-time versus full-time), residence status (in-district/in-state versus out-of-district/out-of-state), housing arrangements or the availability of additional financial assistance. Before enrolling, students should check directly with the training provider to find out if there is financial assistance available or additional costs that may be incurred.
