Current Narrative:
The Required Job Services (RJS) Program is designed for UI claimants when they report to a Missouri Job Center after filing an initial UI claim. This program provides a defined set of required job services, which provide UI claimants the opportunity to have the skills needed to compete for high–wage jobs in emerging industry sectors. All RJS participants receive an orientation to Job Center services and are assessed for individual skills. While meeting with Job Center staff, RJS participants are given current labor market information and provided assistance with job searching. The primary outcome of RJS is for claimants to receive enhanced services that allow them to be better job candidates and return to employment in a shorter time frame.
