  1. Local Workforce Innovation Board (LWIBs) may begin the process of certifying their one-stop centers while negotiating their memorandum of understanding (MOU).
    1. However, the executed MOU must be in place before local boards can recommend certification.  
  2. In instances where the certification process has been completed, and the LWIB would recommend certification, but the MOU has not been executed, the LWIB should indicate Recommends provisional certification pending successful completion of an MOU in the application.
  3. A suggested sequence of events and timeline to guide the local certification process is provided below.  All applications for certification must be submitted electronically to wioaplan@illinoisworknet.com by 5:00 p.m. on June 30.
