The National
Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) is a nationally directed program created by
Congress in response to the chronic seasonal unemployment and underemployment
experienced by migrant and seasonal farmworkers (MSFWs).
The NFJP provides funding to help migrant and
seasonal farmworkers and their families achieve economic self sufficiency by
offering supportive services to them while they work in agriculture or by
helping them to acquire new skills for jobs offering better pay.
Organizations at the local level receive grant funds
from the Department of Labor's Employment and
Training Administration (ETA) to provide these services.
To find the program nearest you, look for a grant
program in your state, contact your local
One-Stop Center, or call ETA's
toll-free help line at (877) US-2JOBS. Information is also available by
subscribing to the program's e-mail subscription service.
