About the Materials

Illinois workNet® makes marketing simple! Save time and money by using our outreach materials. These materials convey a professional image and are customizable, so you may include local services.

All Local Workforce Innovation Boards and Areas (WIOAs), partner organizations, and community partners have access to outreach materials (Download the full listing of what is available for partners here). Also, don't forget to link to Illinois workNet® social media. That way, we can also follow you and share our activities across the network of customers, employers, and partners! You can find links to our social media pages in the footer of this website. 

Before using our outreach materials, read our Graphics Guidelines to ensure you are using the Illinois workNet® logo correctly. Remember that Illinois workNet® is a Registered Trademark.

Also take into account the Department of Labor guidelines regarding the new Illinois workNet® American Job Center logos. A summary of these guidelines can be found here.

Selecting Outreach Materials

We provide a large amount of outreach materials, so it's important to narrow it down and select the ones you need. Here are a few steps for making your selection:

1. Identify your audience.
2. Select and customize materials. Be sure to read our Graphics Guidelines before you begin to customize. Also remember to proof thoroughly to find those subtle typos. Customizable materials include:

  • Templates for flyers, brochures, handouts, and PowerPoint presentations.
  • Icons to incorporate into your print materials.
  • Illinois workNet® high resolution logo files for flyers, posters, and signage.

3. For WIOA-funded publications, add this standard disclaimer to the footer:

  • "This workforce product was funded by a grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration. The product was created by the recipient and does not necessarily reflect the official position of the U.S. Department of Labor.

4. In addition, all Illinois workNet® materials should have this disclaimer:

All voice telephone numbers may be reached by persons using TTY/TDD equipment by calling TTY (800) 526-0844 or 711.

File Formats

In some cases, there are multiple file formats for materials. Below is a description of these differences and their respective uses:

  • Print Version – These files contain small lines in each corner of the page. These lines are to help ensure that the design of the material will not be cropped out or trimmed off. This is not meant for screen viewing or in-house printing.
  • PDF – These files are medium or high resolution. These can be used for online viewing and printing.
  • EPS – These file formats are high quality graphic files used primarily to save artwork like logos, large signs, or banners.
  • JPG – These are photo images with smaller file sizes that are best suited for photographs or images with several colors.
  • PNG – These are photo images with higher file sizes that are best suited for images with text, graphics, and icons.
  • MS Word / Customizable Template – These file formats allow you to edit and insert your own contact and address information to the outreach material in question.
