Pick a state and an occupation family

What the finder holds — programs per state and family

Source and date: counts from RetrainMap’s 2026-09-02 snapshot of the open program index behind trainingproviderresults.gov (70,088 programs nationally that day; the site states the data reflect programs approved as of June 30, 2025 and outcomes for July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2025). Family membership is by the occupation codes providers reported (each family’s rule is printed on the state page); a program can sit in two families. “DOL data-quality flag” marks states the Department names in its own data-quality note: “States with known data quality concerns include the following: Alabama, Colorado, District of Columbia, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, and Puerto Rico. Data from such states largely remains available on trainingproviderresults.gov. Additionally, Oklahoma has not submitted data yet for PY 2024, and therefore has no data available at this time.”

The eligibility basics — 20 CFR 680, quoted

Three facts about the money, each from the regulation itself: who counts as an adult or a dislocated worker, who may receive training services, and how the money moves (only to a provider on the state list, through an Individual Training Account).

“To be eligible to receive career services as an adult in the adult and dislocated worker programs, an individual must be 18 years of age or older. To be eligible for any dislocated worker programs, an eligible adult must meet the criteria of § 680.130. Eligibility criteria for training services are found at § 680.210.”20 CFR 680.120 — eligibility for career services as an adult (eCFR, current as of 2026-08-31) · fetched 2026-09-02 · FETCHED THIS BUILD

“To be eligible to receive career services as a dislocated worker in the adult and dislocated worker programs, an individual must meet the definition of "dislocated worker" at WIOA sec. 3(15). [...] Governors and Local Workforce Development Boards (WDBs) may establish policies and procedures for one-stop centers to use in determining an individual's eligibility as a dislocated worker.”20 CFR 680.130 — eligibility as a dislocated worker (eCFR, current as of 2026-08-31) · fetched 2026-09-02 · FETCHED THIS BUILD

“Under WIOA sec. 134(c)(3)(A) training services may be made available to employed and unemployed adults and dislocated workers who: (a) A one-stop center or one-stop partner determines, after an interview, evaluation, or assessment, and career planning, are: (1) Unlikely or unable to obtain or retain employment that leads to economic self-sufficiency or wages comparable to or higher than wages from previous employment through career services; (2) In need of training services to obtain or retain employment leading to economic self-sufficiency or wages comparable to or higher than wages from previous employment; and (3) Have the skills and qualifications to participate successfully in training services; (b) Select a program of training services that is directly linked to the employment opportunities in the local area or the planning region, or in another area to which the individuals are willing to commute or relocate; (c) Are unable to obtain grant assistance from other sources to pay the costs of such training, including such sources as State-funded training funds, Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA), and Federal Pell Grants established under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, or require WIOA assistance in addition to other sources of grant assistance, including Federal Pell Grants (provisions relating to fund coordination are found at § 680.230 and WIOA sec. 134(c)(3)(B)); and (d) If training services are provided through the adult funding stream, are determined eligible in accordance with the State and local priority system in effect for adults under WIOA sec. 134(c)(3)(E) and § 680.600.”20 CFR 680.210 — Who may receive training services?

“Training services for eligible individuals are typically provided by training providers who receive payment for their services through an ITA. The ITA is a payment agreement established on behalf of a participant with a training provider. WIOA title I adult and dislocated workers purchase training services from State eligible training providers they select in consultation with the career planner, which includes discussion of program quality and performance information on the available eligible training providers.”20 CFR 680.300 — how training services are provided (Individual Training Accounts) (eCFR, current as of 2026-08-31) · fetched 2026-09-02 · FETCHED THIS BUILD

Your local job center decides eligibility — this shows what is on the list and what it cost and produced, not whether you will be approved.
