These grants, part of the National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP), will provide training, career services, and work-based learning opportunities to help individuals build skills for careers in agriculture and other sectors.

Administered by the Employment and Training Administration, the NFJP will fund 51 organizations, focusing on worker-centered, industry-partnered training. Notably, eight of these organizations, receiving a combined total of over $15.8 million, are first-time recipients in this grant cycle.

The NFJP aims to empower farmworkers and their families by offering pathways to industry-recognized credentials in agriculture and beyond. These grants follow a funding availability announcement from March 5, 2024. They are authorized under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, designed to address workforce needs and enhance opportunities for workers and employers in various industries.
