More comprehensive services available include assessments, development of individual employment plans and career counseling and planning. Re-employment services offer workers assistance in finding a new job. For individuals requiring re-training, appropriate training programs to develop marketable skills that will help obtain employment are provided. Customers are then linked to training opportunities in their communities, including both occupational training and training in basic skills.

The Work Certified Program is also available for jobseekers or dislocated workers to refresh and establish their understanding of basic business skills such as: reading comprehension, computer basics, business math, resume writing and interview skills, customer service, work maturity, and business writing. Upon completion of this program, individuals are identified as “Work Certified” and provided with a certification card. This service is designed to make jobseekers more marketable and ensure employers that they are hiring qualified employees with strong work ethics.

The North East Texas Workforce Board serves nine counties including Bowie, Cass, Delta, Franklin, Hopkins, Lamar, Morris, Titus, and Red River. Workforce development services for employers and jobseekers are offered at four locations, including a fifth location specifically for child care services.
