Telamon Corporation received a $173,071 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration under the National Farmworker Jobs Program (CFDA 17.264), effective July 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. The award supports workforce development and related assistance services for eligible migrant and seasonal farmworkers (MSFWs) and their dependents in North Carolina. Through a case management approach emphasizing customer choice, Telamon Corporation will deliver basic and individualized career services, occupational skills training leading to industry-recognized credentials, youth workforce development activities, and supportive services including allowance payments for short-term direct assistance to help farmworkers retain agricultural employment or participate in training programs.
The organization will provide comprehensive case management services designed to strengthen the ability of eligible MSFWs to obtain or retain unsubsidized employment, stabilize their agricultural work, and achieve economic self-sufficiency. Services are tailored to meet individual participant needs and may include access to career counseling, job training opportunities aligned with industry standards, youth services for participants aged 14-24, and related assistance that enables farmworkers and family members to maintain employment or engage in skill development activities. Telamon Corporation's established expertise in serving vulnerable farmworker populations positions it to effectively administer these workforce investment activities across its North Carolina service area.
