Description
Funded by the U.S. Department of Labor, this guide was produced as part of the evaluation of the EDWAA (Economic Dislocation and Worker Adjustment Assistance) Farmers and Ranchers Demonstration. The purpose of this demonstration, which funded four projects for approximately three years, was to develop innovative and effective strategies for serving farmers. .The Department of Labor also funded an evaluation of the demonstration, which included intensive study of the demonstration projects and four non-demonstration programs that also have developed innovative services for farmers.
The experiences of four demonstration projects in Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota and four additional projects in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Wisconsin are the foundation for this guide. Detailed case studies of these projects are included in Serving Dislocated Workers.
