WorkForce WV will work to provide business driven services responsive to the specific needs of our agricultural employers.  WorkForce will build relationships with agricultural employers in order to connect businesses to resources, promote employer engagement and employer retention, match employers with qualified workers, and conduct virtual and in person job fairs.  Additionally, WorkForce will communicate with employers regularly in an effort to market our services as well as those provided by our partners and other state and federally-funded agencies that serve agricultural employers.  

WorkForce WV will also continue to schedule in-person and virtual meetings with agricultural employers statewide to solicit their feedback on the quality of our services to them in order to seek better methods of serving our agricultural employers.  Such meetings also provide an opportunity for WorkForce to pass along to employers crucial updates regarding the foreign labor certification process and other pertinent information on additional resources such as grant opportunities, support services for farmworkers, and changes in federal regulations.
