Current Narrative:
The four MSFW training modules on the Intranet LWC University and on the Staff Online Resources page in the HIRE labor exchange system comprise part of the merit staff outreach workers’ set of professional development tools. The LWC University is available to all LWC merit employees. The Staff Online Resources is available to merit staff and all partners. Additionally, other MSFW resources are available through the Staff Online Resources; Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA), the MSPA poster in English, Spanish and Vietnamese, CFR Part 653 - Services to Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers, TEGL 15-09 Job Service Complaint System, One-Stop Center Complaint Referral Record ETA Form 8429 and instructions. The SMA will attempt to include the four training modules in the training section of the Louisiana Employees Online (LEO) human resources services portal. State merit employees receive professional development credit for courses taken through LEO. The inclusion of the MSFW modules would provide an extra incentive for merit employees to take the courses. Additionally, the SMA will attempt to add online training on the Agricultural Recruitment System (ARS).
