Join Mike Fazio, Co-President of Workforce180 and Metrix Learning, as he speaks with Kendra Moesle, Director of Workforce Development at the Association of Farmworker Opportunity Programs (AFOP), about transforming farmworkers' lives through job training and career development. Drawing from her personal connection to farming and experience with AmeriCorps, Moesle discusses AFOP's mission since 1971 to empower farmworkers through the National Farmworker Jobs Program. The conversation highlights common misconceptions about farmworkers' skills, the challenges of migrant life, and the program's success in helping participants transition into sustainable careers like trucking, welding, and healthcare.
