 SUBJECT:         Clarifying Allowable Outreach Activities for Federal Formula and
                  Competitive Grants

1. Purpose. This guidance: 1) clarifies the allowable uses of formula and competitive grant
   funds authorized by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), including the
   Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA), and the Strengthening Career and
   Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) for outreach activities; 2) provides
   examples of how grantees can use grant funds to effectively conduct outreach; and 3) directs
   the workforce system to expand its reach to more workers who can benefit from employment
   and training services and to better meet the needs of businesses.

2. Action Requested. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) directs that state
   workforce and education agencies, state and local workforce development boards, and
   competitive grantees review and assess all existing outreach efforts and revise, or develop
   and implement, the appropriate policies, procedures, and strategies to guide the allowable use
   of funds to conduct outreach activities and better meet program goals. It is imperative that
   all individuals who could benefit from workforce services and career and technical education
   (CTE) become aware of and know how to access these critical services through the public
   workforce and education systems funded through WIOA and Perkins V. The goal of strong
   program outreach is for more Americans to find themselves on a pathway to meaningful
   work and self-sufficiency.

3. Summary and Background.

   a. Summary – This Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) rescinds TEGL 03-
      23 and replaces it with this new guidance in order to provide additional clarity on
      allowable outreach to participants and align policies with the current Administration.
      This TEGL directs grantees to expand the reach of workforce development services by
      providing clarity on how formula and discretionary grant funds can be used to conduct
      outreach activities.

   b. Background – The public workforce system can play a critical role in connecting talent
      with opportunity, connecting customers to employment and training opportunities, and
      helping employers recruit workers that match their skill needs. However, too few
      Americans are currently benefiting from the federal investments in workforce
      development through WIOA and Perkins V and the national labor force participation rate
      is far too low. As discussed in America’s Talent Strategy: Building the Workforce for the
      Golden Age, the public workforce system must work to reconnect millions of Americans
      with meaningful work, including through outreach to long-term unemployed and
      underemployed populations, and those who have left the labor force entirely. To better
      communicate the workforce system’s value and expand awareness of its services to
      jobseekers and employers, the system must conduct effective outreach.

       WIOA requires grantees to inform the public about services, conduct proactive outreach,
       and make individuals aware of services that can support their employment needs.
       Similarly, Perkins V requires eligible recipients to describe how they will recruit and
       serve students, including special populations, and to ensure that learners and families
       have access to information about available CTE programs and their outcomes. The
       Uniform Guidance regulates the administrative and financial requirements of federal
       grant funds, including WIOA and Perkins V formula grants and the Department of
       Labor’s (DOL) competitive grants; see 2 CFR part 200 and DOL’s exceptions at 2 CFR
       part 2900. Specifically, 2 CFR 200.421 allows for grantees to recruit program
       participants and to engage businesses by communicating with them. The American Job
       Center (AJC) brand was created to increase awareness of the services of the public
       workforce system and to facilitate outreach.

       This TEGL seeks to demonstrate the flexible uses of both formula and competitive grant
       funds, including both WIOA and Perkins V, to conduct outreach activities and directs
       workforce and education systems to expand their reach to more individuals who can
       benefit from education and employment and training services.

4. Allowable Outreach Activities. To meet the goals articulated in America’s Talent Strategy,
   ETA and ED encourage their grantees to conduct outreach activities to meet the needs of
   their customers and to fulfill grant objectives. Outreach activities are allowable using WIOA
   and Perkins V funds and may also be leveraged through partnerships to ensure potential
   participants are aware of services available through the workforce system.

Pillar III within America’s Talent Strategy discusses the importance of integrated systems
when it articulates that “a modern workforce system must be unified, navigable, and built
around the needs of its users.” To achieve this vision, outreach strategies should also include
coordination with critical partner programs, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and other benefit
programs, in order to ensure DOL-funded programs are reaching those seeking better
employment opportunities and those that must meet work requirements. Outreach can ensure
that individuals receiving public benefits with work requirements are able to meet those
requirements, can transition off public benefits, and become economically self-sufficient.
Coordinated outreach with these one-stop partners can be both beneficial in identifying
participants for WIOA programs and in helping one-stop partner programs meet their
program goals. Coordinated outreach could include creating outreach materials with
information about multiple programs, reviewing data on income or unemployment to identify
areas with acute program needs in order to target outreach, and sharing participant data
within data sharing and privacy agreements to facilitate informing SNAP or TANF
participants about WIOA services.

In addition, grantees should strongly consider coordinating outreach activities with Perkins V
local directors and stakeholders and AEFLA providers to increase awareness of the range of
services available through Perkins V and WIOA-funded programs. This will ensure there are
clear pathways for co-enrollment opportunities between programs, including work-based
learning, secondary-to-postsecondary CTE programs of study, Integrated Education and
Training for adult learners, and pre-apprenticeship and youth-serving Registered
Apprenticeship opportunities.

As a reminder, Sections 124 and 135 of Perkins V may permit outreach and marketing
activities so long as those activities also meet the requirements in the Uniform Grant
Guidance (2 CFR Part 200) and the Education Department General Regulations (34 CFR
Parts 75-99). Marketing and outreach activities via outlets such as newspapers, radio/TV,
magazines, and social media directed toward a specific career and technical education
program of study or service may be allowable with prior approval from the Office of Career,
Technical, and Adult Education.

Grantees should consider creating an outreach plan that details how the purpose of each
outreach activity is linked to the program’s objectives and indicators and how they would
help meet performance outcomes or program objectives while serving a greater number of
individuals. Part of a grantee’s success and ability to meet expected performance outcomes
will depend on how well it communicates and promotes the benefits of the program's
services to the communities it plans to serve. Grantees should be cognizant of the medium,
timing, and format of outreach activities to ensure individuals have an opportunity to hear or
see the message being communicated. In addition to communicating with potential
participants, outreach strategies should include efforts to engage businesses. Grantees can
engage in a variety of activities to effectively conduct outreach to their customers and
educate the public about the services.

This TEGL aims to provide general guidance for both federal formula-funded grantees and
competitive grantees on how to assess whether certain outreach activities and uses of funds
may be allowable and to highlight the flexibilities and opportunities that exist within current
funding. It is important to note that this TEGL does not provide an exhaustive list of
allowable activities; rather, it gives examples of some of the more common allowable
outreach activities.

As with all Federal award costs, ETA encourages grantees to review the Cost Principles
contained in 2 CFR 200.400 – 200.476 of the Uniform Guidance. The Cost Principles list the
basic criteria that must be met when charging costs to a Federal award—that such costs are
necessary, reasonable, and allocable. Additionally, grantees should review other relevant
documents, such as state policies and the grant’s Statement of Work for any grant-specific
policies that govern outreach activities, including the Public Communications requirement
(otherwise known as the Steven’s Amendment) (Pub.L. 119-75). Many grantees are party to
Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) that contain the Infrastructure Funding Agreements
(IFA) that may also set out goals or limits to the costs that will be shared jointly by partners
for outreach activities. WIOA section 121(h)(4) includes outreach costs in its definition of
“infrastructure costs.” While WIOA does not set a specific limit on outreach costs, all costs
must be reasonable and allocable, as discussed below.

   a. Defining Advertising and Public Relations: A common misconception is that Federal
      workforce development grant funds cannot be spent on program outreach, such as
      advertising and public relations. These activities are not only allowable but may be
      necessary to reach both businesses and jobseekers. The key is to make sure that the
      grantee is promoting Federally-funded activities, services, and programs and is not
      solely promoting the organization’s name recognition or image.

       To apply the requirements in the Uniform Guidance, grantees should understand the
       definitions of “advertising” and “public relations” at 2 CFR 200.421. This difference
       is important as there are separate requirements that govern each type of activity.

       Advertising is an allowable cost when completed for outreach for grant activities,
       services, and programs, as described in 2 CFR 200.421(b). Advertising is allowable
       through various media strategies, such as print, electronic, digital, radio, social media,
       billboards/signage, text apps, and Quick Response (QR) code. Allowable activities
       include promoting program services and other specific purposes necessary to meet the
       requirements of the grant award. The cost of media strategies used to conduct
       outreach to the public might be personnel or non-personnel costs and promote the
       activities of the federal award. Grantees should ensure compliance with the
       regulations at 2 CFR 200.421(b), their grant award terms.

       Public relations, on the other hand, includes activities that promote Federally-funded
       activities, services, and programs, and are typically considered personnel costs. Some
       public relations activities include, but are not limited to, attendance at, facilitation of,
       collaboration with, or participation in job/career/community fairs, rapid response
       events, one-stop satellite centers/mobile one-stops, community access points, high

   school/college career days, podcasts and other interviews, etc. While advertising of
   Federally-funded activities, services, and program offerings might be present at a
   public relations event, public relations differs from advertising in that staff typically
   interact directly with the community, public, or press during public relations
   activities. Public relations are an allowable outreach cost for grant activities,
   services, and programs. This TEGL provides examples of allowable public relations
   activities as well as general rules of thumb to apply when determining what public
   relations are allowable or unallowable under federal grants.

   Grantees, especially in AJCs, may have MOUs that describe the combined costs for
   advertising and public relations outreach that encompass the services offered by all its
   partners. Infrastructure costs might include media platforms (print, electronic, radio,
   social media, billboards/signage, text apps, QR codes, etc.) describing one-stop
   partner activities, services, and programs. IFA costs may identify purchases specific
   to grant outreach activities with potentially additional associated costs for supply
   purchase customization. ETA broadly interprets grant outreach activities that
   promote the activities, services, and programs of the grant award to mean efforts to
   educate, enroll, employ, or extend referrals to customers with interests in ETA’s
   publicly-funded workforce development system efforts. For example, execution of
   this strategy might include supplies bearing the one-stop delivery identifier, at 20
   CFR 678.900, as well as a QR code or website that is owned, managed, and updated
   by the grantee and/or signatories to the MOU and directs the public to more
   information about the AJC and other workforce programs.

b. General rules of thumb: The Uniform Guidance regulations and this guidance do not
   list every possible scenario grantees may encounter when planning for outreach
   activities. The Uniform Guidance generally governs the administrative and financial
   uses of federal grant funds. Grantees and their fiscal teams should be familiar with
   those requirements.

   The first step in assessing if a cost is allowable for a grant is to determine if the cost is
   necessary. Some questions to consider are: Is this cost necessary for the performance
   of the grant? Will this cost assist the organization in achieving its grant’s outcomes
   and goals?

   Another step in assessing an allowable cost to a grant is determining cost
   reasonableness. When testing for reasonableness of a cost, consider the prudent
   person theory. In the prudent person theory, your organization must consider:

         •   Would a prudent person use Federal funds to purchase such items?
         •   Would you have used your own funds to purchase such items?
         •   Do internal controls (MOU/IFA, policies, sub-recipient agreements,
             contracts, etc.) exist that designate/describe outreach activities and/or limits?
         •   Is the ETA grant receiving a benefit and if so, are costs properly allocated
             based on the relative benefit received?

         •   If costs are to be shared with other funding streams, are costs being
             allocated properly?

   For example, if your organization distributes commemorative coins that simply list
   the name of the organization, or just the name of the program with no contact
   information, and hands them to the organization’s board of directors, a prudent person
   would view these as not advancing awareness of the program’s services or
   employment for participants. These would be considered memorabilia, gifts or
   souvenirs, and would not be allowable under the Uniform Guidance. On the other
   hand, if your organization was trying to inform young parents about program services
   and attended a community event to promote their federally-funded grant program and
   provided a tote bag with the name of the grant program and contact information as a
   way for individuals to find out about services funded by the grant, a prudent person
   would find that cost reasonable. The tote bag, used as an outreach tool, would benefit
   the program by recruiting potential participants using a very low-cost item that would
   presumably be re-used and seen by others, and thus help potential participants access
   those program services. These costs would be reasonably calculated to help increase
   enrollment as opposed to just commemorating an event or promoting an organization
   itself and not the grant program and its services.

   Records and supporting documentation on the expending of Federal funds on grant
   activities must be retained to sufficiently support the expenditures reported on the
   quarterly ETA-9130 form. Documentation must be retained to attest to the
   allowability, reasonableness, necessity, and allocability of these costs. Supporting
   documentation may include copies of the advertisement, photos of the outreach
   activities, applicable contracts, receipts, attendance records, transcripts, and employee
   travel. Grantees are required to follow record retention and recordkeeping
   requirements in accordance with 2 CFR 200.334-200.338. Furthermore, grantees are
   required to retain this supporting documentation, which must be made available to
   auditors, State and Federal reviewers, and, if applicable, pass-through entities.

c. Ways to Conduct Outreach: Once you understand the terms used in the Uniform
   Guidance, and understand how to determine cost allowability, you can explore the
   many ways to conduct outreach. Below is a list of several examples of outreach
   activities and platforms allowed with grant funds.

         •   In-Person Outreach: Attending a local fair with materials about where to go
             to get help with finding a job, developing a resume, obtaining career advice,
             and learning interview skills is allowable.

             The grantee may need a unique method or strategy for locating, attracting,
             and retaining potential participants for the specific program. If the grantee
             does not have enough staff, consider conducting outreach through
             organizations that are willing and able to spread the grant’s key messages to
             their audience.

    Consider meeting potential participants at community locations such as
    libraries, religious institutions, laundromats, grocery stores, fairs, industry
    events, and other local events. Reach out to local businesses like barber
    shops and hair salons, movie theaters, sporting events, and restaurants and
    ask them to post and share the organization’s poster or sign to educate
    customers about the program or grant-funded services. Consider which
    organizations are trusted by local communities, and where information can
    create subsequent “word-of-mouth” information sharing. Local businesses
    may also allow grantees to join existing events they are planning, or they
    may permit grantees to use their location as a venue for outreach and
    enrollment events to promote the grant's opportunities.

    In addition to asking community partners and community leaders to spread
    the word that grantees are providing services, also ensure that they have
    enough information about the services being provided and where individuals
    might find value, so that they are able to refer individuals to the
    organizations that can best help them.

    Other in-person activities for outreach include, but are not limited to,
    attendance at, facilitation of, collaboration with, or participation in
    job/career fairs, rapid response events, one-stop satellite centers/mobile one-
    stops, high school/college career days, and other workforce events, etc.
    Consider setting up a recruitment display table so that information about
    grant-related services provided by the organization may be distributed. It is
    appropriate to have advertising materials to promote the program such as
    brochures, pamphlets, or flash drives at a public relations event. Providing
    iterative follow-up activities once career fairs, job fairs, and other similar
    activities have concluded is also helpful.

    Materials created to achieve grant objectives/outcomes and for the purpose
    of outreach at in-person events, and to facilitate engagement between staff
    and the public are allowable. Materials used to educate the public about the
    grant-funded activities, services, and program offerings are allowable and
    encouraged.

•   Mobile AJCs or workforce service delivery vehicles: To reach people where
    they live, shop, and gather, particularly in more rural areas, grantees may
    consider purchasing a vehicle to conduct outreach as well as provide
    employment and training services. Mobile career centers that are capable of
    providing program intake, career services and exploration, prescreening, and
    co-enrollment for partner programs are particularly useful for rural areas.
    Co-locating AJCs in partner programs’ physical plants is also an effective
    method of outreach that may yield savings on overhead costs for WIOA
    core and partner programs.

    The Uniform Guidance considers motor vehicles as general-purpose
    equipment, which are allowable under the Cost Principles. Costs to repair
    and maintain the vehicle are also allowable. The costs of the vehicle and its
    maintenance must meet all the “factors of allowability” outlined in 2 CFR
    200.403, and in some circumstances, prior written approval from DOL-ETA
    may be required. If the motor vehicle benefits two or more programs, the
    cost of the mobile AJC and the costs to maintain the vehicle must be
    allocated to the other programs based on the relative benefit received (2
    CFR 200.405(d)).

    ETA encourages grantees to leverage relationships with other partners that
    serve the same community or partners and that may have the same purpose
    or mission when purchasing, staffing, and maintaining a mobile AJC unit.

•   Print: Printed outreach materials are by far the most popular format for
    outreach campaigns and are an allowable cost. They can include a variety
    of items, such as advertising and written articles in the local newspaper or
    neighborhood newsletter, informational postcards, brochures and flyers,
    doorknob hangers, pamphlets, and leaflets. Other examples may also
    include bus stop signage, signage on benches, banners, billboards, vehicle
    wraps, etc. QR codes may also be used in print media to direct potential
    participants to online information on the grant funded activities, services, or
    programs.

    ETA broadly interprets printed outreach materials that promote the
    activities, services, and programs of the grant award to mean efforts to
    educate, enroll, employ, and/or extend referrals to customers with interests
    in ETA’s publicly funded workforce development efforts.

•   Radio and TV: Local radio and TV stations are a great way to advertise
    grant services and are usually cost effective for media coverage. Grant
    organizations should research and reach out to members of the media who
    may cover topics related to its grant award. There may be a specific radio or
    TV station reporter who covers a particular neighborhood or local
    community. For media engagement, consider public service announcements
    (PSAs) and press releases. If there is no advertising budget, sharing radio
    PSAs or coordinating on-air interviews with local radio stations is another
    way to build awareness of the services and support provided by the grant.

•   Websites: The organization or program website is an excellent way to
    provide practical information about how to obtain services to participants
    and to community members that are seeking to engage with your
    organization. The organization will benefit from keeping the website
    current and easy to navigate, especially if using QR codes that direct the
    reader to the activities, services, and programs of a specific event. Note that
    all websites funded with federal funds must meet the accessibility

    requirements established by section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
    See Section 4d of this TEGL for more information about ensuring
    accessibility of online/electronic and hard copy materials.

•   Email Communication: Email remains a useful way to disseminate
    information to participants and to potential partners in and outside the public
    workforce system. Signature lines can include an additional website link,
    QR code, or description of an upcoming event or workforce activities,
    services, and/or program offerings. Use plain language wherever possible.

•   Text Messaging (SMS) Applications: Grantees can continue outreach to
    program participants with text messaging applications. These may be
    particularly well-suited to grantees who need to communicate with
    participants in real time (e.g., those that pair participants with case
    managers). Additionally, this modality is a way to remind participants of
    upcoming appointments or outstanding documents, to promote a new
    program/service offering, or to send out employment opportunity notices.
    Text messaging applications can also bolster traditional and effective word-
    of-mouth outreach by prompting participants who may be in the company of
    other potential eligible candidates to speak about the opportunity, to put it
    on their social media accounts, or to forward the text to others who may
    benefit. Another advantage of some texting tools are functions that can
    automate messages to go out at certain times to groups of people, and even
    to track analytics, such as if and when people open the messages or click on
    embedded links. Such data can be helpful for programs to use to adapt their
    outreach. As with all activities, grantees must ensure participant data
    privacy. It is important that grantees review the data privacy policies of
    these text messaging applications and other social media platforms prior to
    use.

•   Social media: The use of grant funds to create social media accounts, such
    as Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platform accounts to promote
    the grant services offered, raise awareness of the program, and strengthen
    relations with the community is an effective way to virtually connect with
    customers regardless of their distance from the organization. This is not an
    exhaustive list; however, grantees must comply with the grant award terms,
    especially those for prohibited platforms/vendors. For instance, the grantee
    can follow other local community-based organizations on social media,
    “like” their Facebook stories, congratulate their progress on LinkedIn, and
    share photos and short clips of them on Instagram (and do not forget to tag
    them). These all may be cost-effective ways to create a social media
    presence online. Please note there may be Federal or state laws that prohibit
    the use of certain platforms, so grantees should be aware of any restrictions
    before use. In addition, grant award terms may prohibit certain activities,
    such as lobbying. These restrictions apply to social media activity as well.

         •   Quick Response Codes, also known as QR Codes: QR codes are a square
             holding a barcode-like graphic, comprised of machine-readable information.
             When someone uses a cell phone to take a picture of the QR code, the phone
             recognizes the machine-readable information and can then go to a specific
             website. QR codes are a quick way to disseminate information and are used
             in every facet of life, from viewing a menu at a restaurant to shopping.
             These codes can provide information about a product or service, which is
             then delivered quickly to a user’s device. QR codes require minimal space,
             are easy to scan, can store a good amount of information, and can be used to
             link to text, digital business cards, multimedia, and social media channels.

         •   Influencers: Influencers are people that have often amassed large followings
             via different types of media platforms and use their power of influence to
             communicate information. Influencers may be able to assist grantees in
             conducting outreach activities by communicating to potential participants
             what programs and services they offer. Grantees using a contracted
             personality should provide details/speaker’s notes to the influencer to
             promote the Federal award’s activities, services, and programs. When
             considering whether to use an influencer for outreach, one should consider
             the Uniform Guidance’s Cost Principles, including that all influencer-related
             costs must satisfy the allowability factors in 2 CFR 200.403 and must adhere
             to the advertising and public-relations cost rules in 2 CFR 200.421. Other
             criteria to consider are the influencer’s reputation, follower base, any state
             or local vetting requirements, the receptivity of potential participants, the
             technology access of participants, and the cost/benefit compared to a more
             traditional outreach modality. Influencer use is an outreach strategy that
             may be a powerful recruitment tool when assessed and used properly.

         •   Blog and Podcast Interviews: These platforms usually contain interactive
             content that may be individually or serially posted and can discuss a
             Federally-funded activity, service, or program offering to a specifically
             targeted audience. They are typically short in length, and access to some
             podcasts may require a subscription service. The frequency of use, potential
             participant cost, and availability of ongoing content should all be considered
             when undertaking this outreach modality.

d. Outreach for Individuals with Disabilities: Grantees must make information about
   their services accessible to individuals with disabilities by providing auxiliary aids
   and services, including information in alternative formats, and can use grant funds to
   ensure outreach materials (including, for example, printed materials, forms, and
   presentations) are accessible. In addition, when developing, procuring, maintaining,
   or using electronic and information technology with Federal funds, including
   websites and electronically stored documents or information, grantees should provide
   access to and use of information and data for individuals with disabilities that are
   comparable to what is provided for individuals without disabilities. Grantees can
   refer to General Services Administration’s (GSA’s) website on electronic and

          information technology accessibility (www.Section508.gov) as a resource. GSA is
          the federal government’s technical advisor for digital accessibility and provides
          guidance and training in numerous areas. Document creation software like Microsoft
          Office Suite has tools and accessible design templates that can help to create
          accessible content from the start. Moreover, when designing websites, accounting for
          accessibility at the outset is much easier than adjusting the site later to make it
          accessible for customers. Specific accessibility standards also apply to QR codes.
          DOL’s Office of Disability Employment Policy provides resources to help employers
          create better job opportunities and workplaces for people with disabilities, including
          guides, research, and technical assistance including multiple resources about
          workplace accessibility and reasonable accommodations in the workplace. The Job
          Accommodation Network (JAN) offers a Workplace Accommodation Toolkit with
          practical support for organizations.

   As noted above, this guidance provides multiple examples but does not address every
   potential scenario. ETA encourages grantees to review their plans for outreach and consider
   the examples provided in order to most effectively reach and best serve jobseekers and
   employers.
