Laredo Workforce Center

Start by walking in to the Laredo Workforce Center and completing the WIOA/CSI eligibility process; no specific general/adult eligibility staff contact was identified. Melva Lavin Castillo is the Youth Supervisor and is not the contact for general WIOA eligibility. Complete Work in Texas registration (https://www.workintexas.com/vosnet/LoginIntro2.aspx?enc=5CDClwJdtOsnyw9fqDO6aA==); bring ID and Social Security number for registration, and bring ID, proof of residency, and Social Security number to in-person orientation at the nearest WFS office. Staff stated a $4,000 training cap; any additional ATI scholarship is case-by-case. ATI appeared on the local list for McAllen only, not Laredo or Zapata, and local list status can change, so recheck current provider/program availability. Melva offered to send ATI information to her project director and adult WIOA staff; after this stop, Ms. Millán at the board office planned to check with TWC and email the result to ATI and case managers. Do not tell leads they are approved before eligibility and provider/list verification are complete.
