Vocational/employment services and supports delivered via distance methods such as an Internet-based information and support system, offer greater efficiency, convenience and depth and breadth of information than vocational services provided by conventional face-to-face delivery methods. In addition, such distance delivered services can be provided at a much lower cost than services provided via face-to-face meetings. The resulting cost savings make it possible for the provider of services to share with the consumer of services a substantial percentage of the payment that the provider receives from a third party payer. When payment from the third party payer is contingent upon the consumer achieving predetermined employment related goals, then a shared third party payment arrangement gives the consumer added incentive to achieve those goals and added reason to choose the provider using this method over others.
