The One-Stop Delivery System is a shared responsibility of States, LWIBs, chief elected officials (CEOs), core and required one-stop partners, one-stop operators, and service providers. In Illinois, the one-stop delivery system includes six (6) core and ten (10) required programs as well as additional partners identified in WIOA under Section 121(b). 

Under WIOA, one-stop centers and their partners:

  1. provide job seekers with the skills and credentials necessary to secure and advance in employment with family-sustaining wages;
     
  2. provide access and opportunities to all job seekers, including individuals with barriers to employment, such as individuals with disabilities, to prepare for, obtain, retain, and advance in high-quality jobs and high-demand careers;
     
  3. enable businesses and employers to easily identify and hire skilled workers and access other supports, including education and training for their current workforce;
     
  4. participate in rigorous evaluations that support continuous improvement of one-stop centers by identifying which strategies work better for different populations; and
     
  5. ensure that high-quality integrated data inform decisions made by policymakers, employers, and job seekers.
