“Made in America” Credentials to Support the Skilled Immigrant Workforce
“Steps to Success”, WES Global Talent Bridge and IMPRINT’s recent study on immigrant professional integration, found that those respondents who had invested in additional education once residing in the United States were more likely to be employed and successful than those who had only received their education abroad.
This webinar will provide an in-depth look at supplemental academic options for immigrant learners holding foreign degrees. Participants will explore career pathways that build on existing education while addressing skills and language gaps.
