Current Narrative:
Vermont has no significant offices and very few workers who meet the definition for MSFWs. In 2018, the VDOL updated its MOU with Pathstone, reconnecting our efforts to support MSFWs. In 2019, the VDOL experienced significant leadership changes at the federal, state, and program level, and lost some subject matter expertise in working with MSFWs and conducting program outreach. The VDOL remains committed to ensuring that central office and field staff will rebuild this expertise and, in reorganizing staff functions, will make this a priority. Additionally, the VDOL will strengthen relationships with agricultural and farmworker organizations to educate those who might interact with MSFWs about the services available through the One-Stop American Job Center network and the VDOL directly.
