The mission of the Employment and Training Administration is to contribute to the more efficient functioning of the U.S. labor market by providing high-quality job training, employment, labor market information, and income maintenance services primarily through state and local workforce development systems.
The National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) Grants for Career Services and Training aim to support organizations that have a deep understanding of, and capacity to address, the unique challenges faced by migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their dependents. These challenges include navigating the agricultural industries and labor market needs within their service areas. Eligible organizations should demonstrate an ability to administer and deliver a diversified program of workforce investment activities. This includes services not only for adults but also youth workforce investment activities, alongside related assistance tailored for migrant and seasonal farmworkers. The Department encourages a wide range of applicants including education and training providers, advocacy organizations, labor or worker organizations, industry representatives, and organizations serving farmworkers and other populations facing multiple barriers to employment.
