🚧 A major milestone for DCIA!

Today, Mayor Bowser joined DOES and DGS to celebrate the grand opening of the new DC Infrastructure Academy training center at the historic Spingarn High School. Since 2018, more than 6,500 District residents have trained at the Infrastructure Academy.

This state-of-the-art facility will help even more DC residents launch careers in infrastructure fields like construction, energy, and transportation. ⚡🛠️

Together, we’re investing in the spaces—and futures—that strengthen our city. 💼🏗️

DC employers, there’s a more efficient way to respond to unemployment insurance (UI) requests.

Two exchanges. One enrollment. No additional software needed.

Separation Information Exchange – submit separation details when an UI claim is filed.

Earnings Verification Exchange – provide wage data when earnings need to be verified during a claim.

Free for all registered DC employers!
