These <br />meetings also allow workforce staff to receive cross-training on available workforce <br />programs and referral processes, ensuring job seekers and businesses can seamlessly <br />access services. Through these collaborative meetings, partners work together to <br />address service delivery challenges, identify best practices, and align workforce <br />strategies with regional economic needs. <br /> <br />Several workforce partners maintain a co-located presence at the AJCCs, allowing them <br />to work directly with job seekers, reduce service duplication, and strengthen inter-agency <br />collaboration. Co-located partners participate in career planning, job search assistance, <br />and employment workshops, ensuring that individuals receive comprehensive career <br />development support. They also engage in general orientations, on-site hiring events, <br />and case management activities that integrate WIOA and partner programs into <br />individualized employment plans. <br /> <br />The three WDBs have established co-location agreements with key workforce partners <br />to enhance employment, training, and supportive services. The Orange County WDB <br />AJCCs house the Employment Development Department (EDD), DOR, County of Orange <br />Office on Aging, and the City of La Habra, along with Career Teams, the contracted career <br />services provider, and America Works, the AJCC operator.
