Current Narrative:
OIC of Washington and the State Monitor Advocate have a full Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in place. This MOU ensures continued collaboration between ESD and our NFJP grantee, OIC of Washington. Throughout the state, ESD’s outreach personnel and NFJP staff collaborate by assisting each other with outreach. They also participate in various events where information is shared on the services available to the MSFWs at our WorkSource centers. The NFJP grantee is made aware of the monthly Agricultural conference call and is invited to participate by sharing outcomes, challenges, and ways of reaffirming our continued collaboration.
