In tune with local labor market trends, the Idaho Office of Refugee Resettlement and the Idaho Department of Labor sponsored a forum on hiring refugees in healthcare. Across the state, most healthcare occupations -- including Registered Nurses and Nursing Aides -- are projected to grow by at least 6% in the coming year. Forum participants learned about the strong talent pool of potential employees while also gaining more understanding about the supports that local refugee employment services can bring to their recruitment and retention efforts.
Boise State Public Radio produced a nice story about the event that highlights three refugees who are contributing their skills and talents to Boise's healthcare industry. Listen here.
