MET’s fundamental objective is to help migrant and seasonal farm worker obtain permanent unsubsidized employment in an occupation that pays a sustainable wage and allows the individual to advance in both earnings and responsibility as the client’s tenure and skill set increase. Stable, unsubsidized employment is the key to the successful future of migrant farm workers and their families. We can accomplish this through several methods:

• CLASSROOM TRAINING for skill attainment and enhancement
• ON THE JOB TRAINING for closely monitored job training
• WORK EXPERIENCE for a new job experience in a different area
• EMERGENCY SERVICES for supportive services to qualified applicants
