This volunteering role as a Technical Employment Coordinator aims to make a life-changing impact by helping immigrant, refugee, and asylee clients move beyond low-paying jobs and into higher-skilled, higher-paying positions aligned with their professional and educational backgrounds. The goal is to address the issue of Brain Waste, where 25% to 30% of college-educated refugees and immigrants are relegated to low-paying jobs well below their abilities.
As a Career Mentor Volunteer, you will be responsible for guiding clients toward their desired career fields. This includes enrolling them in relevant training and recertification programs, reviewing their resumes, job matching with our employer connections, and following up to ensure their success.
This is an unpaid volunteer position that requires a minimum of a 2-hour/week commitment. The position offers training on the refugee process of arriving in the US and the various challenges they face in obtaining skilled employment.
