Could use some job search advice

I am currently a student helicopter pilot here in Dallas and my wife is going through IFOD (Institude of Flight Ops and Dispatch) school here. We are hoping to get jobs in the same area when she finishes school and are having trouble finding companies that offer dispatch services. We have already discovered JsFirm and a few other basic/general job sources but are open to any advice.

Does anyone know a good method of finding dispatch companies, getting in front of dispatch companies, or any credentials that would give her a competitive edge at getting in the field?

My best advice to her was to get a flight communicator course completed to make her eligible for HEMS dispatch gigs out there... but that's about all I have got.

I am really hoping my fellow rotorheads can point me in the right direction. I posted this in Flight Crew/Dispatch forum, but it seems to be a slow moving place on PPRune

Thank you for any help you can provide!
