Equal Opportunity Monitoring and Compliance

Equal Opportunity Is The Law

It is against the law for the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity’s Office of Employment & Training, any of its grantees, or any other recipient of Federal financial assistance under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, political affiliation, and against any beneficiary of programs financially assisted under Title 1 of the WIOA, based on beneficiary’s citizenship/status as a lawfully admitted immigrant authorized to work in the United States, or his or her participation in any WIOA Title 1 financially assisted programs or activity.
