Career Connect is used to determine eligibility for Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA) services. WIOA is a no-cost employment program that provides job seekers with the support and/or skills training they need to find a career. Services are provided by a network of Career and American Job Centers. After registering, you can learn more about WIOA, upload eligibility documents, and access career exploration tools.

To expand economic opportunity, the Illinois workNet® Portal and Program utilizes partnerships and technology to expand seamless and real-time access to workforce development resources aimed at individuals, employers, and workforce/education partners.

Illinois workNet is sponsored by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity and made possible through state, local, and private sector partnerships.​​​
