Access to Jobs
Workforce navigation for every Missouri county — WIOA navigation, job matching, and career pathway tools empowering workforce development staff, job seekers, and career counselors.
The problem
Missouri's workforce development system is governed by complex WIOA regulations that vary in implementation across 114 counties. Job seekers struggle to identify eligible training programs, navigate On-the-Job Training funding, and understand which services are available in their specific county.
Workforce development staff and career counselors spend hours manually matching individuals to programs, interpreting eligibility requirements, and tracking fragmented resources across multiple agencies. The gap between available workforce programs and the people who need them remains stubbornly wide — especially in rural counties with fewer resources.
Our approach
Access to Jobs provides AI-powered workforce navigation tools that cover all 114 Missouri counties. Built on current WIOA program data and designed for real-world use, these tools help job seekers find eligible training, navigate OJT funding opportunities, and build career pathways tailored to their circumstances.
Every tool is open source, designed for practical workforce development, and built to work within the Claude.ai platform — no coding required, no cost to the end user.
