Outreach and Enrollment Coordinators will locate and contact MSFWs who are not being reached by the normal intake activities conducted by the employment service offices, to promote and enroll migrant and seasonal farmworkers (MSFWs) into the NFJP. OEC’s will spend much of their time in the field contacting MSFWs at their working, living or gathering areas, to explain by means of written and oral presentations either spontaneous or recorded, in a language readily understood by them, the services available at the local one-stop center (which includes the availability of referrals to training, supportive services, and career services, as well as specific employment opportunities), and other related services. They will distribute information on the employment service complaint system, on the other organizations serving MSFWs in the area, and a basic summary of farmworker rights, including their rights with respect to the terms and conditions of employment. This position requires considerable travel and the ability to work flexible hours when the majority of MSFWs are in the OEC’s assigned geographical area. To meet position duties, OEC’s must have MSFW background, speak, read and write language commonly spoken among MSFWs in the state, Spanish primarily. Assist agricultural employers in meeting training and labor needs. OEC’s will assist MSFWs with gathering necessary documents to determine program eligibility.
