Current Narrative:
DWD and UMOS have developed a MOU that will allow for combined training to Job Center staff by DWD’s SMA and UMOS local staff. We are also working with UMOS to develop brochures and other outreach materials that feature both agencies and the services they provide.
In order to provide high quality services to both jobseekers and employers the DES and DWD utilize a collaborative approach to providing training to continuously enhance the professional development for the Missouri Job Center staff. Various methods are utilized to present training to staff on new programs and services including: in-person training by subject matter experts from both agencies, webinars, videos imbedded in the DWD web portal, program specific desk aides, on-the-job training, and conference calls.
