During this presentation, you will learn how the Agricultural Services can help you...
Recruit workers through (NCWorks, personal contacts, and other recruitment paths)
Help growers who are interested with foreign labor (H2-A, H2B) with understanding rules and regulations pertaining to the use of these programs especially when organizations choose to have both foreign labor and US workers doing the same job tasks.
Help train (pay for certificates/trainings) current workers learn additional skills or beyond there current jobs (an example would be to help pay for a seasonal laborer get a CDL and become more beneficial to the employer)
Conduct free (on-farm) safety consultations of OSHA Standards for farms. What makes these so good is they are free and the employer is not obligated to follow our advice.
Help (potentially) set up a future career pathway to recruit/direct high school/community college students into this line of work (thus helping ensure the future of the industry.
All Services are Free of Charge!
