3 What is the NLx? A partnership between two non-profits, the National Association of State Workforce Agencies and DirectEmployers Association, working together to create and operate a systemic tool which offers a high quality feed of job openings. Mission: To provide the most accurate and comprehensive collection of real online job openings in order to achieve the highest level of efficiency for the nation s labor exchange - at no additional cost to state workforce agencies, employers and job seekers.

4 How Does the NLx Work?

6 The NLx & VEVRAA Compliance Through OFCCP regulations implementing the JVA o o Listing employment openings with the state workforce agency job bank or with the local employment service delivery system where the opening occurs will satisfy the requirement to list jobs with the appropriate employment service delivery system. In order to satisfy the listing requirement described herein, contractors must provide information about the job vacancy in any manner and format permitted by the appropriate employment service delivery system which will allow that system to provide priority referral of veterans protected by VEVRAA for that job vacancy. 41 CFR (a) (2)

7 Furthermore.The employment service delivery systems shall provide OFCCP, upon request, information pertinent to whether the contractor is in compliance with the mandatory job listing requirements of the equal opportunity clause. 41 CFR And finally under Examples of outreach and recruitment activities such as The Local Veterans Employment Representative in the local employment service office (i.e. the One-Stop) nearest the contractor s establishment 41 CFR (f) (2) (i) (A)
