Coordinating Individual Development Accounts and the Workforce Investment Act to Increase Access to Post-Secondary Education and Training

From the Center for Social Development, this policy brief offers ideas on how IDAs and WIA can collaborate in increase access to education and training. Adults with a high school education earn on average $26,332, compared to $32,154 for Associate degrees and $42,116 for Bachelor degrees. Therefore, expanded IDA programs can improve access to education for the low-income population.
