The Career Pathways program is growing at the IRC in Sacramento. So far, Career Pathways has assisted clients' transition into careers that match or are similar to the ones they had back home.

The IRC in Boise will launch a new career pathway open to all — refugee, immigrant, and US born individuals — to upskill and train as industrial sewing technicians.

A Commercial Driver License (CDL) can bring more job opportunities. Especially in the Industrial City of New Jersey, having a CDL can lead to many sustainable options. Acquiring a CDL and becoming a truck driver is one of many desired entries into stable employment. Many IRC clients are looking to find jobs that require a CDL because they find it can help them secure higher wages.

The IRC assists refugees and SIVs in securing employment upon arrival in the U.S., in addition to supporting them as they advance their careers and move towards achieving financial goals. Through job training, resume workshops, mock interviews, vocational scholarships, Vocational English as Second Language (VESL) classes, financial education, and other services, we offer refugees the tools they need to succeed in meeting their short and long-term professional and financial goals.
