| New H-2A Job Registry: Online Tool Will Help the Public Search Active Agricultural Jobs
|
| |
Starting July 8, U.S. workers and organizations that represent farmworkers will have a new way to learn about temporary agricultural positions accepted by the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) through a single online location. The new H-2A Job Registry will display all active agricultural jobs until half the period of employment has passed; some positions for certified agricultural jobs will remain archived for up to 5 years.
The new web tool will provide a single, easily searchable point of entry for the public to find information about agricultural jobs filed under the H-2A visa program. The new tool was developed to fully comply with new H-2A regulations (implemented in March 2010) and is integrated into the OFLC’s iCERT Visa Portal System, available online at http://icert.doleta.gov.
