The attached draft Plan maintains that earlier content and updates the activities based on Governor Walker's current workforce and economic development initiatives.

This issuance of the draft Workforce Investment Act, Wagner-Peyser Act and Agricultural Outreach Plan is the federally required public review and comment before submittal to the U.S. Department of Labor. In order to garner as much input as possible, we request the Workforce Development Board Directors to forward this public review and comment notice to your regional business, labor, and community/faith-based training and employment network.

Draft Agricultural Outreach Plan for Public Review and Comment

The draft annual Agricultural Outreach Plan is available for the federally-required public review and comment period for the Plan. The purpose of this Plan is to ensure that Wisconsin's migrant and seasonal farmworker outreach program is effectively locating, contacting, and serving workers who are not reached by typical intake activities conducted by local offices.

Comments will be recorded verbatim and provided to the U.S. Department of Labor as part of the final Plan. Also, based on your input, this draft may be modified prior to submittal.

In order to garner as much input as possible, please forward this public notice to other partners who play a role in serving migrant and seasonal farmworkers. We also request the Workforce Development Board Directors to forward this public review and comment notice to your regional business, labor, and community/faith-based training and employment network.
