Current Narrative:
In 2019, One-Stop Centers contacted 173 MSFWs, of which 24 were referred to jobs. During the past two years, due to the pandemic, Louisiana has been under a declared state of emergency. One-Stop Centers were closed to the public. Services were provided via social media platforms Online. During the Plan period, LWC intends to increase the number of MSFWs by ten percent as staff is better trained to increase their outreach to MSFWs and to recognize MSFWs who enter the Business and Career Solutions network and register in HIRE. LWC estimates that at least 150 staff days annually may be required to achieve the number of contacts required by the regulatory guidance. Louisiana continues to provide the qualitatively equivalent and quantitatively proportionate level of services to MSFW, compared to non-MSFWs.
