Scale Up and Train Your Partners Across Sectors in Immigrant Workforce Integration Best Practices: Upwardly Global’s Jobversity Practitioner Learning Pathway (PLP) Training Program
In 2019, Upwardly Global and Welcome Toledo-Lucas County (TLC) successfully piloted UpGlo’s Jobversity platform to train more than 30 local workforce development and service provider staff on how to better assist newcomers with professional backgrounds. Welcome TLC partnered with Lucas County Department of Planning and Development, the County’s workforce and economic development department, and OhioMeansJobs-Lucas County, the County’s American Job Center or CareerOneStop and utilized Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) (federal workforce development funds), as well as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) federal funds. Previous to the Jobversity training, Lucas County workforce and job center staff had limited to no experience with the needs and issues of immigrant and refugee workers, including topics such as credential evaluation of foreign degrees or how to help job seekers navigate the cultural differences of a U.S. job search. The staff now has a much greater understanding of how to effectively support immigrant and refugee clients into professional careers and in-demand middle-skill jobs and is currently serving this community at a greater rate than before.

This webinar will focus on how the Jobversity PLP training was utilized by Welcome TLC and its partners to deepen understanding of immigrant workforce integration best practices among workforce development and local service provider staff. The webinar will include lessons learned and practical tips for how the training can be used in your community to scale up and train your partners across sectors. A special discount is currently available to the Jobversity PLP training for Welcoming America members across the network.

Upwardly Global (UpGlo) is a national nonprofit, the first and longest-serving U.S. organization focused exclusively on long-term economic integration for immigrants and refugees. To date, UpGlo has helped 6,500+ immigrants and refugees in the United States.
