What WIOA pays for in Montana

In program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025), WIOA paid toward the training of at least 36 people at programs Montana approved in the fields on this site. 44% of them were in dental hygiene programs, against under 1% across the US.1

That count is low: 3.2 people per 100,000 residents, against 52.3 across the US. WIOA most likely paid for more people in Montana than its programs reported; the federal file doesn't have complete counts for every program.

166 programs in 60 fields, or 14.6 for every 100,000 residents (30th of 52 states and places with a population figure). To choose a program, see every training program in Montana.

How the Montana WIOA numbers are made

  • Programs: every program in the fields on this site that Montana approved for WIOA funding, from the US Department of Labor's file for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025).
  • People WIOA paid for: each program's count of people who trained there with a WIOA training account. Programs report it only from 3 people up, and some report nothing, so the totals are minimums.
  • Per 100,000 residents: approved programs divided by the Census Bureau's population estimate for July 1, 2024.2
  • Metro areas are the Census Bureau's; a program counts where its classes are held.
