Current Narrative:
Missouri Job Center staff will be trained via webinars to offer the MSFWs equal access to a full range of employment services. And in providing these services be sensitive to their preferences, skills, and availability of agricultural job opportunities. In order to accomplish this all Job Center staff must identify and serve all farm workers in an equitable manner. These interactive training webinars will empower each Job Center to accomplish compliance in meeting this regulation. Participants will learn how to indentify, conduct intake and service the MSFWs living and working in their areas as well as learn the demographic and agricultural information for each respective local region. Training will be completed on outreach throughout the State requiring at least one local staff person 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.
