| This page presents a growing number of resources for developing Memoranda
of Understanding (MOUs) between programs funded under Title I and Title II
of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. Most examples relate to local
adult education agencies negotiating with their local One-Stop, however, there is at least
one example of a state-level MOU.
As additional resources are submitted from the states, they will be posted.
