Migrant, Refugee, and Labor Services

The Bureau of Migrant, Refugee and Labor Services (BMRLS) creates a focal point to coordinate services to: all foreign born and their families; all migrant workers; and employers who hire foreign and/or Limited English Proficient (LEP) workers.

The BMRLS enables the Department of Workforce Development to effectively mobilize all of its services on behalf of these target populations through staff training and support for translation and interpretation services.

The BMRLS also serves employers more effectively by providing a coordinated response to employers seeking to hire foreign born workers, providing them with both qualified applicants and accurate information concerning required documentation, and best practices for hiring and retaining foreign born workers and migrants.
