The workforce development system, which is made up of employers, unions, and employment and training service providers, works together to provide a broad range of quality services for workforce development. The One-Stop partners use common technology standards and share desired outcomes. A technology-based eligibility system gives workers potential program eligibility information based on their situation. When programs fill, or eligibility requirements or other circumstances change, the system is updated to reflect these facts so that current information is available. The services will be easily accessible for self-service.
Staff are available to assist customers if necessary.
Job seekers access workforce development information on their own schedule from kiosks in high schools, malls and other locations around the service area. They can also access it from the partnership's web site on the Internet. Employers are similarly able to access the system, receiving accurate prospective labor market information that they can easily understand. Employers are able to define their job requirements and these requirements are communicated into the system which can use this information to prepare workers for jobs that really exist. Training institutions receive information from employers and recent graduates to improve the quality and relevance of training courses.
