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:
As mentioned above the state of Montana has a formal MOU in place with REO to coordinate and collaborate on services provided to MSFWs. Each of the partner agencies attend statewide training to discuss services and opportunities to collaborate on outreach efforts and share promising practices from throughout the state. Statewide trainings are designed for partner engagement in an effort to strengthen relationships and better serve this population of workers.
Montana will continue to explore partnerships at the state and local level, including local ag committees at local chambers of commerce, education partners, and community service organizations.
Training is developed collaboratively across partners and included presentations and networking opportunities with Montana’s three primary MSFW partner agencies, REO, Montana Legal Services Association, and Ag Worker Health and Services.
