How can you take your workplace to the next level?
Have you hired a diverse workforce and seen the opportunity to develop their language and workplace skills further?
You know investing in your team is the best way to care for your staff and help your company grow, but how do you support staff with their language learning and career goals?
With World Relief Memphis, there is a solution.
For 12 years, World Relief Memphis has partnered with local businesses to help meet their workforce needs. We have assisted companies in Memphis in hiring over 1,000 E-Verify-ready staff members from all over the world. We have also helped retain their workforce to help meet their company goals.
The Level UP program is another tool that helps companies invest in their workforce.
What is Level UP?
Level UP is World Relief Memphis' newest program, in which we partner with Memphis businesses to address language and skills gaps that exist within their specific workforce.
Our goal is to help companies invest in their employees, creating a safer, more productive work environment with increased employee engagement. We do this by bringing certified instructors to your workplace to deliver a custom curriculum designed to meet employer and staff needs.
We believe this initiative will address the needs of refugees, local employers, and the broader community.

"Varsity Facility Service has been working with World Relief since 2011. The partnership has been a good one for Varsity. All the staff at World Relief have been professional and easy to work with. The refugees that I have brought on staff, have been a great addition to the team. All have been hard working, good natured, and very eager to learn. I especially like to learn from them and hear their life stories. I have been humbled and have great appreciation for these people. I will continue to work with World Relief and hope that anyone who is looking for hard working people will do the same. It is a good feeling to know you can help someone to reach the American dream."
-Shawna Patterson, Varsity Facility Services
"At Panda Express we are grateful for all the hard workers that have come to us. Each day is a new learning experience for everyone in the store, we are able to learn about different cultures and teach about our own. Some of my team barely spoke English when hired in and are now able to communicate with us about different things throughout the day. They are some of the strongest members in the store. My team really enjoys spending time together and growing together."
-Brittany Brownwigg, Panda Express
