Labor Needs to Better Manage Migrant Grants in Virginia and Improve the Process for Selecting Grantees.

Abstract

The Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers Association in Virginia operates programs that provide employment and training services to farmworkers. GAO could not adequately evaluate the Association's performance because of data reporting problems. Many program goals and performance standards, however, were not met according to reported data. The Department of Labor did not enforce compliance with agreed upon goals and standards, and it provided little monitoring of the Association's activities. GAO's recommendations are intended to improve Labor's management of grants to the Association and Labor's migrant grantee selection process.
