The Illinois Interagency Referral Workgroup has created a tool to help workforce partners accomplish high-quality referrals. This guide aims to enhance referral relationships within the Illinois workforce ecosystem. It is designed to promote a clear understanding of workforce programs and service eligibility criteria. By doing so, partners in the Illinois workforce system can ensure seamless service delivery, including co-enrollment when appropriate.

We’d love to hear from you. Click here to send a message to the IL Referral Group.
