Workforce Investment Act: Adult Programs (Government Grant)

The purpose of these programs is to provide workforce investment activities that increase the employment, retention and
earnings of participants, and increase occupational skill attainment by the participants. This aims to improve the quality of
the workforce, reduce welfare dependency, and enhance the productivity and competitiveness of the Nation's economy. All
adults, 18 years of age and over, are eligible for core services. Priority for intensive training services must be given to
recipients of public assistance and other low-income individuals where funds are limited.

States and local areas are responsible for establishing procedures for applying the priority requirements. Nonprofits,
including faith-based and community organizations, are eligibly to apply.
