WIOA funding: Your path to a mechanic career
At Auto Trades Academy, you can train for a real automotive career — with little to no out-of-pocket cost — through WIOA funding that covers your tuition, tools, and materials. We guide you through the entire process step by step so nothing stands between you and a career as a professional technician.
Personal WIOA guidance
We connect you directly with your local Workforce Career Center and help you speak their language — ensuring your training request is accepted quickly.
Funding-ready program design
Our tuition, program length, and materials are already aligned with WIOA limits, so you don’t have to fight for exceptions or extra paperwork.
Document assistance
We show you exactly what documents to bring (ID, proof of residency, income, etc.) and even provide a pre-filled “Training Request Sheet” that makes your case manager’s job easy.
WIOA shouldn't feel impossible.
At Auto Trades Academy, we walk you through the process step by step — from paperwork to approval — so you can focus on training, not red tape.
Is Auto Trades Academy right for you?
Our program is designed for students who are:
✅ Motivated to work and learn hands-on. You prefer turning wrenches and diagnosing problems over sitting in long lectures.
✅ Ready for a new start. You may be unemployed, underemployed, or simply ready to move on from a job with no future.
✅ Eligible for WIOA support. You’re working with (or willing to connect to) your local career center for tuition funding.
✅ Committed to showing up and finishing strong. You value punctuality, teamwork, and professionalism — the same standards real shops expect.
✅ Looking for more than a certificate. You want to graduate job-ready, confident, and connected to employers who respect skilled technicians.
We remove the friction
Auto Trades Academy was built specifically to make WIOA simple. We’ve walked the process step-by-step from both sides — training provider and student — so we guide you personally through every step.
