Utah workforce funding
Can Utah DWS pay for a Nevada course?
Sometimes. Utah runs WIOA training money through the Department of Workforce Services, statewide, from its employment centers. There are no separate regional boards, so the rules are the same wherever you live in Utah.
Utah and Nevada have a reciprocal agreement that lets each state use the other’s approved training providers, and Pretty In Ink Brow Academy is an approved training provider recognized by the State of Nevada for eligible workforce funding programs. Whether a Nevada course fits your plan is your counselor’s decision. The academy cannot approve, promise or speed up funding from DWS.
Talk to DWS before you pay a deposit or book flights. If they say yes, we will give them whatever they need from the academy.

It can, but it is not automatic. Utah and Nevada have a reciprocal agreement that lets each state use the other’s approved training providers, and Pretty In Ink Brow Academy is an approved training provider recognized by the State of Nevada for eligible workforce funding programs. Your DWS employment counselor decides whether a Nevada course fits your plan, not the academy. Ask them before you pay a deposit or book flights.
Flying is the easy way. Delta flies nonstop from Salt Lake City to Reno-Tahoe International Airport, and the studio is a short drive from the airport. Driving from Salt Lake City takes about eight hours on I-80.
