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.
