How Local Boards and AJCC partners will coordinate the services and resources <br />identified in their MOU, as outlined in WSD18-12 - WIOA Memorandums of <br />Understanding. <br />The local boards and AJCC partners coordinate the delivery of services and resources described <br />in the local boards’ memorandums of understanding (MOU), which delineates each MOU <br />partner’s responsibilities when it comes to helping plan, develop, and implement the local AJCC <br />system. The MOU serves as a functional tool that outlines how the boards and AJCC partners <br />will work together to create a unified service delivery system that best meets their shared <br />customers’ needs. The MOU is reviewed and updated every three years, and the infrastructure <br />agreement and other system costs are reviewed annually. <br /> <br />Local boards hold AJCC partner meetings monthly, where each partner participates in helping <br />strengthen the partnership across programs and works to improve the system’s effectiveness <br />that meets local customers’ needs. Consistent recurring meetings allow the partners to review <br />performance, shared goals, and address issues that impact service delivery. Partner meetings <br />are also used to cross-train staff to maximize understanding of resources available in the AJCC <br />system. The local boards and partner organizations share the responsibility of providing <br />professional development training to staff. <br /> <br />Co-located partners are in the One-Stop Center, and they collaborate closely and avoid <br />duplication of services. Staff from partner agencies interface with clients as necessary and <br />support case managers in developing individual employment plans that may include partner <br />agency services. They also participate in general orientations, host client workshops, support <br />clients in the resource room, and support on-site hiring events. <br /> <br />Outreach efforts that support the AJCC programs are shared amongst partners. Partner agencies <br />promote each other’s programs to job seekers in the community to increase exposure to the <br />One-Stop Center services. AJCC partners also assist in staffing the One-Stop mobile unit to reach <br />a greater number of individuals out in the community. AJCC partners also coordinate employer <br />services that support the training and retention of a skilled workforce. Coordination involves <br />identifying and designing appropriate business and employment solutions, engaging businesses <br />in sector strategies, and participating in rapid response events. Partners also support the <br />promotion of work-based learning programs to the business community. <br /> <br />2AII.
