Current Narrative:
Indiana’s Department of Workforce Development has a strong and growing focus on employers and the importance to provide outreach and support to those businesses. The agriculture industry is an important industry to the state. As such, the department is developing round table discussions with its critical industry partners and will work to create these round table discussions with Indiana’s key MSFW agriculture organizations with the goal of explaining services provided, removing barriers to processing, addressing complaints, and maintaining/enhancing dialogue between growers and the State Monitor Advocate.
DWD provides MSFWs with information about, and access to, applicant services available through our WorkOne centers. To ensure MSFWs have access to services at Indiana’s WorkOne centers and WorkOne Affiliate sites, the State Monitor Advocate continually seeks ways to increase the ability for all those involved in MSFW service delivery to be able to dialogue in order to understand and improve on their particular roles and functions. The State Monitor Advocate meets with service providers at the local level to identify priority issues and to develop a continuous consensus building process to determine the appropriate technical assistance necessary for improving service delivery for the MSFW customer - whether farmworker or employer.
