Employment

NICE’s Employment Program focuses on removing barriers to employment for our refugee clients by building relationships with local employers who can offer job opportunities that will lead to self-sufficiency.

Sustainable employment is the foundation for new arrivals’ stability and success in the United States. Our team of case managers and employment specialists works one on one with our refugee clients to build their professional skills, seek out workforce development resources, and pursue their long-term career goals – including national certifications, graduate school admission, job promotions, and more!
