e. 6. A. Collaboration
Describe any collaborative agreements the state workforce agency (SWA) has with other MSFW service providers including NFJP grantees and other service providers. Describe how the SWA intends to build upon/increase collaboration with existing partners and in establishing new partners over the next four years (including any approximate timelines for establishing agreements or building upon existing agreements).
Current Narrative:
The state will continue to collaborate with our National Farmworker Jobs Program grantees and other service providers. The Migrant Seasonal Farm Workers’ Partner Agency group will continue to meet quarterly and work toward joint community event planning and to increase our outreach capacity via the partners. The state will continue to collaborate with the National Farmworker Jobs Program grantees and the local Workforce Investment Board. The state will exchange information with these groups as well as to seek inclusion in the establishment of the local Workforce Investment Board and National Farmworker Jobs Program Memorandum of Understanding. The state will work toward identifying the two (2) National Farmworker Jobs Program grantees and their respective directors who are operating components of this program in West Virginia and work with them to streamline and coordinate services in a seamless manner.
Goal: Develop an inclusive partner agency group to serve the Migrant Seasonal Farm Workers and their families.
Objective: Identify community partners to enhance our total service delivery system.
Plan: To increase participating agencies and receive training from our new partners, annually; these coordination efforts that will grow our assistance network for services to this special population.
Plans for coordinating with other agencies to serve MSFWs continues. Each year more services are implemented to assist the agricultural employers and farmworkers.
