Three Ways to Search:
Once you understand the different providers available, there are three ways you can search.
Option 1: Guided Search
This search asks you a series of questions about your readiness for the program and recommends the best type of service provider for you.
Option 2: Search by ZIP Code or State
Enter your ZIP code or select a state. Once you have your results, you can narrow your list by provider type, services offered, disabilities served or specialized experience.
Option 3: Search by Provider Name and State
Type any portion of a provider's name into the field and select a state. Your results will include all service providers with that name that serve that state.

Different Providers, Different Services

Once you have selected the type of service provider, it is also important to understand that even the same type of provider can provide you a different mix of services. If you choose to work with an Employment Network or Workforce Employment Network, the Finding an EN and Assigning Your Ticket Worksheet can help you interview service providers to find the best one for you.
