Training Provider Search
If ProviderLink is implemented in your state, use the Training Provider Search to locate approved WIOA Eligible Training Providers, WIOA Youth Service Providers, or Registered Apprenticeship Sponsors. The Training Provider Search is designed to search approved training provider records by a variety of parameters.
If you know the training provider you're looking for, search by the training provider's Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) or institution name. If you are browsing for providers, use a keyword or select filters to narrow your search.
- In these instructions, the term "training provider" includes WIOA approved Training Providers, WIOA Youth Service Provider, and Registered Apprenticeship Sponsors.
