One-Stop Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is a legal agreement that One-Stop operators, and voluntary and required partners negotiate to establish their roles, responsibilities, services, and share of operating costs.
 
The MOU provides information about the relationship between the chief local elected officials, the local workforce investment board, and the One-Stop system partners, and defines their respective roles, duties, obligations and responsibilities under WIA Section 121(c)(2). MOUs are updated every 1-2 years to reflect current conditions and needs.
