Abstract
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act is a public law that combines job-training programs under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 into a single funding stream. A key part of this Act is the requirement for a state workforce development plan, describing how it will furnish employment, training, support, and placement services. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the implications of workforce development for rural areas and its potential impact on persons with disabilities. Attention is given to the subgroups that are specifically identified in WIOA, including at-risk youth and veterans including veterans with disabilities and homeless veterans. Finally, this chapter includes discussion on the benefits of WIOA to persons with disabilities in rural settings.
