Current Narrative:
The state will train outreach workers in each AJC office area to be able to go to agricultural employers, MSFWs living areas and places where they meet such as at local community events to provide printed materials to farmworkers in a language they understand. These materials will contain the full array of services such as employment, training, education, unemployment/benefits and support services. Our plan is to train each local employment office manager and at least one (1) other staff person to serve as outreach staff over the next four year period. Additionally, the WV SMA will collaborate with the Virginia SMA in developing expanded contacts to MSFWs.
