Common Intake Form
If you visit any of the above agencies, be certain to complete the Eastern Shore Workforce Center’s Common Intake Form and sign the release. When you do this, you will activate a whole network of agencies to help you accomplish your goals for you and your family.
The information you provide will be used to determine which partner agencies may be best able to assist you, and referrals to those agencies will be made. Once a referral is made, the specific agency will contact you to find out if you are interested in participating in their program(s), and give you the option to provide information to determine if you are eligible.
The choice of whether or not to participate will be yours, but the Common Intake Form will help us to be certain that you get all of the information you may need about services that may be available to you.
