Developing or upgrading accessible online systems, platforms, and data structures for access to services, job search, and career guidance; oriii. Both of the above.In carrying out the required activities, grantees will design and implement a strategy in line with this guidance and Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 12-19, National Dislocated Worker Grant Program Guidance, including carrying out extensive outreach to ensure that eligible participants are aware of the employment and training opportunities provided by the grant.
