Funding Your Future
Discover how Tradez Institute helps you invest in your skilled trades career with a variety of funding and payment options.
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Funding
Tradez Institute is an approved training provider on Arizona's Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL). This means that eligible individuals may be able to receive financial assistance to cover tuition and other approved costs for our programs through WIOA Title I funds. WIOA is a federally funded program designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market. Learn more about WIOA at the U.S. Department of Labor.
How to Determine Eligibility:
Eligibility for WIOA funding is determined by your local ARIZONA@WORK office or Local Workforce Development Board (LWDB), not by Tradez Institute. We encourage prospective students interested in WIOA funding to contact their local ARIZONA@WORK office to learn about eligibility requirements, application processes, and available funding.
Important Considerations:
- Tradez Institute can provide general information about WIOA and confirm our status as an eligible training provider.
- However, Tradez Institute cannot determine your WIOA eligibility, guarantee WIOA funding, or assure enrollment through WIOA.
- Approval for WIOA funding is subject to meeting federal, state, and local eligibility criteria, and the availability of funds.

Military or VA Benefits: We are currently not an approved institution for GI Bill® or other VA educational benefits.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does WIOA funding work if I'm eligible?
If you are deemed eligible for WIOA funding by your local ARIZONA@WORK office or LWDB, they will coordinate payment for approved program costs directly with Tradez Institute, typically through an Individual Training Account (ITA). You won't receive the funds directly; they are paid to the school for your training.
What if I'm not eligible for WIOA or other discounts?
You can still enroll by paying in full or exploring third-party financing options like Klarna, which allows you to split payments. Please review the "Payment Options" section on this page for more details.
