Can I live in Illinois and apply for WIOA in Missouri? Illinois does not list the Academy of Pet Careers as a training provider but Missouri does. With WIOA being a federally funded program, I do not see why I cannot attend a Missouri training program if I am eligible for WIOA in Illinois
Diane,
I am not sure. Please contact the Labor authorities for clarification.
Did you know that the “nearby Career Centers” link directly above this Questions & Answers section opens up a PDF of the Work Search Record? That is not what I would expect it to open – it looks like a link to a list of “nearby Career Centers” I wasn’t sure if there were more than what is listed above. You might want to have someone look at that.
Thank you for the feedback. We have corrected this link.
