Modernizing Federal Workforce Information Tools: Request for Information (RFI) on Online Career Tools and the Occupational Information Network (O*NET) Program

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking public input on the modernization of CareerOneStop and O*NET, two key workforce information resources used by job seekers, workforce professionals, and employment service providers nationwide. The effort is intended to improve access to career exploration, training, labor market information, and employment resources through a more user-friendly, mobile-accessible platform with enhanced functionality.

DOL is specifically seeking feedback from workforce practitioners, state and local workforce agencies, and other stakeholders on how these tools can better support frontline service delivery, reflect regional labor market needs, and improve the user experience for job seekers. For Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) practitioners, this RFI is an opportunity to share insights on how clients with employment barriers interact with career and workforce information systems and identify enhancements that could strengthen case management and employment outcomes. Comments will be accepted through August 10, 2026.
