Funding Allocation (NFA) for the Foreign Labor Certification (FLC) Grants
DEPARTMENT: Human Services DATE: October 29, 2024
PERSON REQUESTING: Jamie Ulrich, Director, Human Services
Brief description of the problem/issue: WIOA Section 116(e) requires that the State, local boards, and state
agencies conduct evaluations to "promote, establish, implement, and utilize methods for continuously
improving core program activities in order to achieve high-level performance within, and high-level outcomes
from, the workforce development system" and "use designs that employ the most rigorous analytical and
statistical methods that are reasonably feasible".
The Department is requesting approval for Employment Services of Weld County's (ESWC) submission of a
Work Plan Notice of Funding Allocation (NFA) #WE23-006 for the Foreign Labor Certification (FLC) Grants. The
purpose of this program is to assist employers in the agricultural industry to fill temporary and seasonal
positions with foreign workers. Funding is provided for staffing and FLC activities such as entering open
agricultural positions on the Connecting Colorado web site, conducting pesticide trainings, if requested, and
housing inspections.

• Total NFA: $15,221.00.
• Funded through the Colorado Department of Labor & Employment.
• Period of Performance: October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025.
