20 CFR 633.102 - Scope and purpose of title IV, section 402 programs.

  • Section Number: 633.102
  • Section Name: Scope and purpose of title IV, section 402 programs. 

    (a) It is the purpose of title IV, section 402, of the Act to 

provide job training, employment opportunities, and other services for 

those individuals who suffer chronic seasonal unemployment and 

underemployment in the agriculture industry. These conditions have been 

substantially aggravated by continual advancements in technology and 

mechanization resulting in displacement and contribute significantly to 

the Nation's rural employment problem. These factors substantially 

affect the entire national economy.

    (b) Because of farmworker employment and training problems, such 

programs shall be centrally administered at the national level. Programs 

and activities supported under this section shall in accordance with 

section 402(c)(3) of the Act:

    (1) Enable farmworkers and their dependents to obtain or retain 

employment;

    (2) Allow participation in other program activities leading to their 

eventual placement in unsubsidized agricultural or nonagricultural 

employment;

    (3) Allow activities leading to stabilization in agricultural 

employment; and

    (4) Include related assistance and supportive services.
