The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations is an equal opportunity program
Section 188 of the WIOA prohibits the exclusion of an individual from participation in, denial of the benefits of, discrimination in, or denial of employment in the administration or connection with any programs and activities funded otherwise financially assisted in whole or in part under Title I of the WIOA because of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions, transgender status, and gender identity) national origin (including Limited English Proficiency (LEP)), age, disability, or political affiliation or belief, or for the beneficiaries, applicants, and participants only, on the basis of citizenship status, or participation in a program or activity that receives financial assistance under Title I of WIOA.
As the State agency with the responsibility for carrying out the nondiscrimination and equal opportunity provisions of the WIOA, DLIR is committed to ensuring that all recipients are aware of their obligations under the Nondiscrimination Plan.
