The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) creates new opportunities for partnership across multiple programs to better serve job seekers and employers through American Job Centers. But what makes a partnership great and what should it look like under WIOA? Get an overview of guidance in this area, including portions of recently-released Training and Employment Guidance Letter No. 16-16, One-Stop Operations Guidance for the American Job Center Network.
