Current Narrative:
Missouri Job Center (MJC) staff provide outreach to individuals that have applied for and/or are receiving UI benefits. During this outreach or when a customer comes into a job center, information is provided about services that are available virtually and through the centers which includes current labor market information, job search assistance, and information on education and training options that are available. MJC will provide options for claimants to participate in our 5 core workshops they include: Career Exploration; Career Networking; Resume Preparation; Interview Process; and Basic Computer Skills.
If staff assisted services are provided during this outreach a Wagner-Peyser enrollment will be completed. If individuals are seeking training options they would need to take an assessment provided by the MJC. Those claimants assessed in need of skill upgrades are provided information on training and education programs and referred to a Title I provider if applicable to the individuals’ employment plan.
