Current Narrative:
Michigan State Workforce Agency (SWA) takes very active role in promoting the Agricultural Recruitment System (ARS). A toll-free telephone line, 1-855-633-2373, is designated as the point of contact for both employers and workers wishing to utilize the ARS as a means to recruit workers, and to apply for approved ARS interstate clearance order jobs. Michigan Migrant Service Workers distribute promotional materials to promote the ARS.
The Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity will make every effort possible to collaborate with MSFW outreach staff in labor supply and neighboring states to recruit domestic MSFW to work in the agricultural industry in Michigan. Recruitment techniques utilized by the outreach worker will include full utilization of the ARS. The Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity will use all recruitment opportunities to ensure MSFWs traveling to Michigan for work are aware of all the educational, training, employment and supportive services available in Michigan.
