In 2019, the project underwent a rebranding, transitioning to "digitaljobsPH" (djPH) and shifting its oversight to the ICT Literacy and Competency Development Bureau (ILCDB). As the training arm of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), the ILCDB's mandate aligns with the project's objectives.
