TO: Fiscal Administrative Procedure Manual Holders
FROM: Cynthia C. Dungey, Director
SUBJECT: American Job Center (AJC) Branding

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) under 20 CFR 678.900 and section 121 (e)(4) of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) designates the brand, "American Job Center," or the tagline, "a proud partner of the American Job Center network," as a common identifier on Ohio's workforce delivery system. DOL requires that this identifier be used as a tagline to the existing OhioMeansJobs (OMJ) brand.

The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) is issuing $287,000 in funding to help local areas implement the new (AJC) branding requirements. This allocation is one-hundred percent federal funding. The Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number for this funding is 17.207. ODJFS will communicate the availability and liquidation period for this allocation through the county finance information system (CFIS).

Local areas must use the OMJ brand with the tagline "a proud partner of the American Jobs Center network" in accordance with WIOA Policy Letter no. 16-07.

ODJFS will issue coding for the allocation via a Bureau of County Finance and Technical Assistance (BCFTA) update.

For questions regarding funding and allowable activities please contact the Office of Workforce Development: WIAQNA@JFS.OHIO.GOV. For questions regarding coding please contact your ODJFS Fiscal Supervisor or call the BCFTA at (614) 752-9194.
