Eligible farmworkers, along with their spouses and dependents, can receive tuition assistance, supplies, transportation support, and a stipend to help them pursue employment, either within or outside the agricultural industry. The definition of farm work has been expanded to include frontline positions in food processing, fisheries, and forestry.

AHDC, a private non-profit organization with over 52 years of experience, offers these services statewide through partnerships with public and private institutions, such as community colleges and vocational schools. Their experienced staff, co-located in Arkansas Workforce Centers, specializes in placing clients in both public and private sector jobs.

These services will be available from September 6, 2024, through June 30, 2025.
