PUBLIC NOTICE

The State of Illinois will be transitioning to a new Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) data collection system from June 17, 2026, through June 30, 2026. The new system will be available on July 1, 2026.

During the transition period from June 17th through June 30th, the American Job Center will NOT be processing applications or intakes for WIOA program assistance provided by Man-Tra-Con Corporation.
