Northeast Arkansas Workforce Development Area (NEAWDA) is comprised of the following  seven (7) counties:  Clay, Craighead, Greene, Lawrence, Mississippi, Poinsett, and Randolph.





The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) will help job seekers and workers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market and match employers with skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy. Congress passed WIOA, the first legislative reform of the public workforce system in more than 15 years, by a wide bipartisan majority. In doing so, Congress reaffirmed the role of the American Job Center (AJC) system, a cornerstone of the public workforce investment system, and brought together and enhanced several key employment, education, and training programs. In recent years over 20 million people annually turn to these programs to obtain good jobs and a pathway to the middle class. WIOA continues to advance services to these job seekers and employers.

The One-Stop Operator for the NEAWDA is THE East Arkansas Planning & Development District (EAPDD).  
Details regarding the competitive procurement can be located at One Stop RFP TimePeriod 10-01-24 to 09-30-28

The WIOA Title I Services Provider for Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth Services is EAPDD.
