A.O. Workforce Partnerships administers a variety of programs through legislation called Workforce Investment Act. This federal legislation is passed down to the states and within Missouri to the Division of Workforce Development.

Workforce Development then works with local Workforce Investment Regions. There are 14 regions within the State of Missouri. Each region then has the opportunity to contract with local service providers to administer these services. Services most typically contracted are: Adult Programs, Dislocated Worker Programs, Career Assistance Programs and Youth Programs.
All of these programs are designed to assist qualifying customers with education, training and employment opportunities. There are many standards and goals established with each service and it is the desire of A.O./A.O. Employment Services to maintain the highest quality of services for each and every customer we serve.

The Division tabs "Southwest, Ozark, Southeast and JMG" describes services and programs that A.O./A.O. Employment Services administers within the designated regions.
