Current Narrative:
Each region of the State will have a job center to assist central office staff in implementation and coordination of local outreach activities. Training will be completed on outreach throughout the State requiring a minimum number of staff from each job center to attend. This strategy will increase local program knowledge and will increase MSFW registrations for Missouri and provide a wide range of services to the farm workers and agricultural employers.
Also, UMOS’s Migrant Education staff will play a significant role in outreach to assist DWD in contacting farmworkers who are not being reached by normal intake activities, and we expect that partnership to continue. In addition, faith based organizations will partner to conduct outreach in order to direct more MSFWs to the local Missouri Job Centers.
