Agricultural Worker Program

Our Agricultural Worker Program is farm, ranch and other ag workers who earn a wage, but still don’t make enough to get by on.

We offer opportunities for workers or qualifying family members to improve earning ability in agriculture or to find work outside of agriculture. REO staff members work closely with participants, helping them determine the best ways they can reach those goals. Participants may choose to attend a vocational, technical or trade school for short-term job training or to enter a work-related college program. Plus, we also help with the things that a person might need to be successful in a new job. Items like work boots, eyeglasses or clothing for an interview. We know that these items can be essential to getting and keeping a good job.

Whether a participant goes directly to work or spends time in training, REO staff members help our participants search for and find a job. We will help participants locate job opportunities, know how to fill out application forms for the best response and create resumes that highlight their strengths as a worker. We want to make sure participants find the best possible job for their interests, skills and goals.
