RefugeeWorks in beginning its pilot project in San Diego this month. We are partnering with the Welcome Back Center of San Diego to help 30 refugees become recertified in their careers as medical personnel or engineers. In this project, participants will receive vocational ESL, extensive case management, and recertification classes. Once participants complete the course they will receive help with obtaining a job in their respective fields. Welcome Back is creating partnerships with local businesses to ensure job prospects once the the participant is ready to look for employment.
We are excited to get this underway and look forward to sharing our success stories and lessons learned.
Are there other recertification programs going on in your area? RefugeeWorks would like to know.
Thanks,
Jonathan
