Engaging Immigrant Talent Toolkit
Our Engaging Immigrant Talent toolkit comes after an intensive 18-month study made up of interviews, focus groups, and roundtable discussions, with employers, immigrants, and workforce development practitioners. We compiled our research and recommendations into a toolkit for employers who want to understand the steps they must take to recruit, retain, and promote immigrant talent.
The Engaging Immigrant Talent toolkit was made possible by a generous grant from the WES Mariam Assefa Fund and developed for The Welcoming Center by The Junkin Group, LLC to advance best practices for immigrant integration into the workplace.
