IowaWORKS Centers must provide access to all required WIOA one-stop partners. Customers must have access to these programs, services, and activities during regular business hours. For WIOA partners not co-located through the IowaWORKS Centers, they must have either cross-trained staff at the Center or a direct technology linkage must be available. A “direct linkage” means providing direct connection at the IowaWORKS Center, within a reasonable time, by phone, or through real-time Web-based communication to a program staff member who can provide program information or services to the customer. Merely providing job seekers information on this page does not constitute a direct linkage.

Listed below are the WIOA-required workforce partners in the Mississippi Valley Workforce Area. This information provides staff a direct linkage to make a direct connection to other programs not physically located at the IowaWORKS Center.

Participant referrals are required to be made through the One Stop Operator referral form in addition to providing the participant a direct linkage to each program as provided below.
