WI WIOA Career Interview Project<\/h1><\/header>\n\n\n

The WI WIOA Career Interview Project is a partnership between the Center for Innovative Transition, Education and Employment (CITEE) and the Wisconsin Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) to provide services under the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CITEE is housed at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, College of Community Engagement and Professions. If you need to get in touch, please reach out to us at the following email: citee-wioa@uwm.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CITEE has a contract with the Wisconsin DVR to provide interviews with all employees paid less than minimum wage. Interviews are scheduled according to the state fiscal year, July 1 – June 30 each year, in accordance with our contract with DVR. We may refer to this period as the interview cycle or interview year. The interviews are provided to help employers and employees comply with federal law. This is not research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would like to talk to someone about Wisconsin’s WIOA policy interpretation and guidance, you may find the contact information for your local Wisconsin Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) office<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
