We help with employment readiness by provide employment counseling and job search assistance to refugees. This includes help with writing resumes and preparing for interviews.
We also offer job training programs to help refugees learn the skills they need to find employment. In addition, they connect refugees with employers who are looking to hire people from refugee backgrounds.
Job Search
One of the most difficult parts of being a refugee is finding a job. Not only is it hard to compete with native-born citizens who often have more experience and qualifications, but language barriers can also make it difficult to communicate with potential employers.
We provide job coaching, resume writing assistance, and job placement services. We have helped countless refugees find gainful employment and build new lives in their adopted countries.
Job Applications
Many refugees come to the United States with a wealth of skills and experience, but they often face challenges when it comes to finding employment. To help refugees overcome these obstacles, the Center for Refugee Services, we offer job application assistance.
Staff members help refugees identify job openings that match their skills and experience, and they provide guidance on filling out job applications, prepare for job interviews and provide job search resources.
Assistance with Foreign Degree Equivalency Certification
Many legally settled refuges have spent years obtaining a high-level education, only to find that their foreign degrees are not recognized in the United States. We help by providing foreign degree equivalency certification. This certification allows refugees to obtain employment in their field of expertise.
