The MOUs provides for collaboration by all of the one-stop <br />partners and creates a seamless system of service delivery designed to enhance access to <br />program services and improve long-term employment outcomes for the individuals receiving <br />services. The MOU contains the provisions required by the WIA, which includes identifying <br />partner services to be provided through the one-stop delivery system, the funding of these <br />services and operating costs of the system, and the methods for referring individuals between the <br />one-stop operators and partners.
