AGCONN surpasses 1,000 verified farmworker profiles in pre-launch pilot, with 38% holding active certifications
In a six-week pre-launch pilot across Fresno and Tulare counties, AGCONN enrolled 1,043 farmworkers with verified phone numbers and a structured skills wallet covering forklift, pesticide handler, and food-safety credentials.
AGCONN announced today that its six-week pre-launch pilot across Fresno and Tulare counties enrolled 1,043 farmworkers with verified phone numbers and structured skills wallet entries. The pilot, which ran from March 15 through April 30, was conducted in partnership with three farmworker advocacy organizations and two community college extension programs.
Among enrolled workers, 38 percent hold at least one active certification — most commonly the California Pesticide Handler Training Certificate, OSHA-compliant forklift certification, or PSA Grower Training. Sixty-one percent of profiles are completed in Spanish as the primary interface language. Average profile completion time was 4 minutes 12 seconds, with 89 percent of profiles completed entirely on a mobile device.
AGCONN's product team designed the platform around two empirical findings from formative interviews: most farmworkers do not own a desktop computer and most certifications are paper certificates that have to be physically presented to each new employer. By starting with a phone-first interface and a portable digital skills wallet, the team addressed both constraints in a single workflow.
AGCONN is a bilingual workforce platform serving California Central Valley farmworkers and the growers who hire them. Headquartered in Visalia, AGCONN launched production in May 2026.
