WIOA Title IB Funds
Federal workforce funding that may cover the full cost of your NCNA training — for eligible job seekers and workers.
What Is WIOA Title IB?
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Title I, Part B is a federal program administered through local America's Job Center of California (AJCC) locations. It provides funding for job training and career development for eligible adults, dislocated workers, and youth.
WIOA Title IB funds can be used to pay for approved occupational training programs — including CNA, HHA, and other healthcare programs at NCNA — for individuals who qualify based on income, employment status, and career goals.
Who Is Eligible?
Eligibility is determined by your local AJCC office. In general, you may qualify if you meet one or more of the following:
Adults (18+) who are unemployed, underemployed, or in need of skills upgrading, with a focus on low-income individuals.
Dislocated Workers who have been laid off, received a notice of layoff, or are unlikely to return to their previous occupation.
Youth (14–24) who face barriers to education or employment, including low-income youth and those with disabilities.
California residents within the service area of a local AJCC office.
What WIOA Funds Can Cover
- Full tuition for approved NCNA programs (CNA, HHA, and others)
- Textbooks, uniforms, and required supplies
- Exam and certification fees
- Supportive services such as transportation or childcare (varies by local AJCC)
