Equal Opportunity Is the Law

It is against the law for the Workforce Development Board of North Missouri and its recipients, who are receiving Federal financial assistance, to discriminate on the following basis:

Whether you are enrolled in a WIOA program or are employed as a staff person in an agency administering a WIOA program, you cannot be denied benefits or services, be segregated or treated any differently from other participants or staff, nor be discriminated against in any way on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions, sex stereotyping, transgender status, and gender identity), national origin (including limited English proficiency), age, disability, or political affiliation or belief, or, against any beneficiary of, applicant to, or participant in programs financially assisted under Title 1 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, on the basis of the individual’s citizenship status or participation in any WIOA Title 1 financially assisted program or activity.

What to Do When You Have Experienced Discrimination

If you believe you have been subjected to discrimination under a WIOA Title 1 financially assisted program or activity, you may file a complaint within 180 days from the date of the alleged violation with either:
