Here’s What You Need to Do

Step 1: Submit your online registration. You will need to upload a resume with your registration. Don’t worry about making it perfect, we will help with that! Your basic employment history is all we need for now.
 
 
Step 2: Take some online assessments. After you register, you will be directed to take a short computer literacy and typing assessment with Criteria as well as an on demand video assessment with HireVue. These assessments will let us learn more about you so we can suggest which of our trainings is the best fit.

 
Step 3: Complete your Individual Work Plan (IWP). Your IWP is our agreement for how we will work together under the Ticket to Work program. It is required by the Social Security Administration to assign your Ticket to Work to us. You will complete a form on your own, before meeting with your Job Coach to finalize your IWP.

Step 4: Utilize our Training Services. Based on your assessments in Step 2, we may recommend you attend a workshop, self-study course or the multi-day Remote Customer Care Agent class. Our training will help you build and improve upon your skillset for working professionally from home.

Step 5: Start applying for our jobs. Once you complete any recommended training, you will get access to our Career Website where you will be able to apply for our current positions.
