Current Narrative:
(B) The Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development’s (DHEWD) communications unit has assisted the State Monitor Advocate (SMA) and MSFW outreach staff in developing a marketing campaign regarding the employment service complaint system. Brochures and posters have been designed and placed in Missouri’s Job Centers with materials from other agencies that serve or contact agricultural employers and farmworker advocacy groups. The SMA and outreach staff attend agriculture related conferences as exhibitors. Participation allows interaction and outreach opportunities with agricultural employers and advocacy groups in attendance. Missouri employers have a dedicated webpage on jobs.mo.gov. The employer and jobseeker services menu includes information on the employment service complaint system.
