Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act Can Fund Your UC Irvine Division of Continuing Education Program

Displaced or disadvantaged workers may be eligible for financial assistance through the Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA) to enroll in approved UC Irvine Division of Continuing Education (DCE) Certificate Programs. For students who qualify through their local California Employment Development Department office, the funds may be applied toward the cost of UC Irvine DCE fees, required books and materials for these certificate programs. Out-of-pocket expenses, if any, are determined on a case by case basis by UC Irvine DCE and each partner.

WIOA funds only cover the minimum number of required units to complete the specific program for which you are approved.
