Current Narrative:
The Arkansas Division of Workforce Services has a cooperative agreement with the Arkansas Human Development Corporation (AHDC), a National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) grantee, which is co-located in several Arkansas Workforce Centers. These Arkansas Workforce Centers are part of the State’s WIOA one-stop system, serving either a comprehensive one-stop center or an affiliate one-stop. Through this partnership, efforts continue to be made to make outreach contacts with migrant and seasonal farmworkers to assist with training for anyone wishing to break the farming cycle. Outreach staff establishes a list of available resources and develops partnerships with other organizations serving MSFWs.
