This funding is part of a larger strategy by the Labor &amp; Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) and Newsom Administration to expand the number of agricultural workers with the education necessary to enter higher training programs, increase access to existing and emerging high-paying jobs in the agriculture industry, and improve job quality and wages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recent investments include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/edd.ca.gov\/en\/about_edd\/news_releases_and_announcements\/edd-awards-$9-million-to-strengthen-californias-agricultural-workforce-system-and-farmworker-communities\/\">$9 million from the Employment Development Department<\/a>&nbsp;to 11 organizations to research, design, and implement projects to train farmworkers with the essential skills they need to pursue career pathways with upward mobility and higher wages. An additional $1 million from The James Irvine Foundation, as part of a public-private partnership, will allow awarded organizations to train undocumented workers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/etp.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/70\/2024\/01\/ETP_PressRelease-January2024.pdf\">$10 million in funding available from the Employment Training Panel<\/a>&nbsp;as part of an Agriculture Initiative to serve businesses and workers in the agriculture sectors, including food packing, food processing, irrigation and fishing.

As the agriculture industry continues to evolve, there will be both opportunities and challenges for the workforce. Through education, training and other supportive services, these state investments will empower farmworkers to advance in their agricultural jobs or obtain employment in new industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Secretary Karen Ross of the California Department of Food and Agriculture said:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cThese programs are key to attracting, supporting and providing high-quality jobs and leadership opportunities for a diverse agricultural workforce. We greatly appreciate this funding to help agriculture\u2019s next generation accelerate innovation to solve problems and build opportunities, and also to help upskill the current workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What California Labor Secretary Stewart Knox said:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cInvesting in upskilling and reskilling benefits workers and employers alike.
