The Arizona Department of Economic Security (ADES) received a $46,451,204 WIOA Adult Program formula grant from the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration. This grant, with a performance period from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027, will fund a range of workforce development services for eligible adults in Arizona, including job search assistance, career counseling, skills training, and supportive services like transportation and childcare assistance. The grant supports the delivery of these services primarily through the American Job Center network across the state. ADES may subaward portions of the funding to local organizations to help provide the individualized career services, training, and supportive services to program participants. The goal is to help eligible adults, including public assistance recipients, low-income individuals, and those with basic skills deficiencies, obtain employment and advance in their careers.
