Current Narrative:

The EDD has substantial financial agreements with MSFW service providers including various contracts with its 5 NFJP grantees, as detailed earlier. These agreements are facilitated by EDD contracting with La Cooperativa Campesina de California, the not-for-profit association of these providers. These agreements total more than $20 million dollars which is a greater amount that what they receive in NFJP funding. The EDD has implemented ongoing efforts to strengthen its collaborative efforts with advocacy agencies including the Mexican Consulate and California Rural Legal Assistance.

The EDD plans to continue building on these relationships and agreements and develop new relationships over the next 4 years through the following:

  • Continue working with our NFJP partners to strengthen and improve how we serve our immigrant and limited English proficient populations including increasing co-enrollment between both Title I and Wagner-Peyser and using the same case management system to track and report on these customers.
  • Provide additional WIOA discretionary resources to develop California’s capacity to serve MSFWs and other limited English proficient populations, e.g., will be investing $7.7 million of PY 2016 WIOA Discretionary funds for Regional Workforce Accelerator projects that will develop and test innovations that accelerate employment for these populations.
  • Participate in convening's of stakeholders that have specialized expertise in serving immigrants and/or persons with limited English language proficiency to identify and develop partnerships with these organizations, e.g., immigrants’ rights organizations.
