ABOUT THE INITIATIVE

• JCF is designed to reengineer Missouri Public Workforce System by redesigning the service and delivery model of workforce programs.
• JCF will engage in customer journey mapping to best understand the pinch points and success for job seekers and employers. 
• JCF will follow Talent for Tomorrow by benchmarking Missouri’s Public Workforce System against 13 Midwestern States and establish performance goals to lead our state to the top of the list. 
• JCF will provide specific policy and technological recommendations necessary to modernize Missouri’s Public Workforce System. 
• JCF will provide a marketing and outreach plan by which Missouri’s Public Workforce System will no longer be our State’s best kept secret.
