The Employment Service/Wagner-Peyser Funded Activities program, CFDA 17.207, is a $22,471,826 formula grant award administered by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration. The purpose of the program is to connect job seekers with employers by providing a variety of career services, including job search assistance, labor market information, and referrals to job openings and training.
The Ohio Department of Job & Family Services (ODJFS) is the designated state agency responsible for administering this federal grant. ODJFS partners with various county agencies, workforce boards, and other local entities as sub-recipients to deliver workforce development services directly to Ohio residents. Key services provided through the sub-awards include career counseling, skills assessments, job search workshops, employer recruitment assistance, and referrals to appropriate employment and training opportunities. The sub-awardees cover a range of local government and non-profit organizations across Ohio that facilitate the Employment Service program's goal of rapidly re-employing job seekers and connecting them with suitable employment.
