Important: The official Fox Valley Workforce Development Board site explicitly asks whether a job or business was impacted by the July 27 tornado and offers assistance with employment, unemployment insurance, or WARN needs. WIOA programs can fund training for eligible participants, but training funding is not automatic for every applicant. Free language assistance or translation is available through the workforce system.
