The one-stop delivery system <br />is a network of WIA-mandated and optional partners who are responsible for providing services <br />for training and employment opportunities authorized by the Act. <br />The Santa Ana WIB is required to establish and maintain Memorandum of Understandings <br />(MOU) with the mandated partners. The MOU provides for collaboration by all of the one-stop <br />partners and creates a seamless system of service delivery. The MOU contains the provisions <br />required by the WIA such as identifying partner services to be provided through the one-stop <br />delivery system, the funding of services, operating costs of the system, and methods for referral. <br />The MOU will remain in effect until terminated by repeal of WIA or with a thirty day written notice <br />to withdraw by the Orange County Social Service Agency. <br />25F-1
