Description
The National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) is a federally funded program that provides career services and training to migrant and seasonal farmworkers. The program is administered by the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) of the U.S. Department of Labor. The purpose of this notice is to provide guidance to current NFJP grantees on the preparation and submission of program plans and budget documents for Program Year (PY) 2019. Grantees must submit their applications through Grants.gov by May 31, 2019. The program aims to provide services such as job training, education, and employment assistance to eligible farmworkers. Key services include:
* Career services and training to help farmworkers acquire new skills and find employment
* Housing assistance to help farmworkers access safe and affordable housing
* Support services such as childcare and transportation to help farmworkers overcome barriers to employment
The program also has specific performance measures, including employment rates, earnings, and credential attainment. Grantees are required to negotiate performance targets with ETA and must submit a revised program plan and budget narrative that aligns with the program's goals and objectives.
