Career Pathways for Refugees
About
At Teach by Tech we believe that every individual, regardless of their background, deserves the opportunity to build a better life. We are expanding our workforce training programs to the manufacturing and the construction sectors. Our program covers ESL, digital literacy, soft skills, and technical skills. Our essential workforce training programs for adult refugees and immigrants, enable them to integrate into their new communities, find stable employment, and achieve self-sufficiency.
Need
The refugee/immigrant population is a talent pool often overlooked as a potential to fulfill Colorado's growing skilled labor needs. In addition to job losses from COVID-19, refugees and immigrants generally face many barriers to employment and advancement leading to lower wages, unemployment, under-employment, and exploitation in the workplace.
Long term impact
Acquiring language and technical skills increases the employability of our 40 participants. They become eligible for a wider range of jobs and careers, often leading to better job security and higher wages. As refugees secure employment, they become active contributors to their new communities, which can foster goodwill and diversity within those communities. Successful participants can serve as role models for others in their communities, inspiring them to pursue similar pathways.
About the Organization
Teach by Tech uses mobile technology, microcomputers and custom video to overcome obstacles to education and provide access to high quality instruction focused on basic education, digital literacy workforce development and financial literacy to vulnerable populations in Colorado and around the world. Through education and mentoring we empower families and create a path to financial stability and job security while promoting inclusion for women and their families.
