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 these services and operating costs of the system, and the <br />methods for referral. The MOU will remain in effect until terminated by repeal of the WIA by the <br />25B -1 <br />
