Wagner-Peyser services (also known as Employment Services) focus on providing a variety of
employment related labor exchange services including but not limited to job search
assistance, job referral, and placement assistance for job seekers, re-employment services to
unemployment insurance claimants, and recruitment services to employers with job
openings. Services are delivered in one of three modes including self-service, facilitated self-
help services and staff assisted service delivery approaches.

individuals reach their employment and educational goals. Those enrolled in the program will
learn to prepare for the future by setting goals and participating in activities to achieve
personal growth. Core services include job search assistance and useful labor market
information. Intensive services, including career counseling, comprehensive assessment of an
individual's employability, and development of a personal employment plan are available to
job seekers who are unable to find jobs through core services. Occupational training linked to
local job opportunities and supportive services, such as transportation, may be available.
