Refugees and other immigrants bring incredible skills and experience with them to the United States from their home countries, and they are often eager to find a job to support their families as soon as they arrive. Finding employment in the United States, however, can be an overwhelming challenge and an uphill battle for many.

Unfortunately, immigrants often face challenges adapting their skills to the US workforce and the barriers to entry can be significant - whether due to language, education or cultural obstacles.

But we want to change that.

"Over the past three years, I have hired 30+ refugees while working in manufacturing in the GSP area. Due to the highly competitive labor market here, it is necessary to find new ways to recruit employees. Partnering with World Relief has been one outlet for this. Their clients have shown to be a reliable, dedicated workforce. While it is sometimes necessary to make some extra efforts due to language barriers or other cultural differences, this effort is always given back twofold. I look forward to a long working relationship with the refugees who are currently employed with us and welcome the ones who will join us in the future."

-Kerri Dolan, HR Manager, Magna Fuel Systems
