Hiring and Integrating Refugees Into the Workforce

Refugees face barriers to accessing jobs in their new communities – which might include low language proficiency, poor access to transportation, and limited social and professional networks. Companies that invest in dedicated programs to hire refugees can play a vital role in helping them restart their lives in their new communities – and benefit from their talent, loyalty, and ingenuity.

Tent advises member companies on how they can build effective refugee hiring programs and integrate refugees into their workforces. Based on their hiring needs, we connect companies with leading local organizations – including resettlement agencies, staffing agencies, and nonprofits – that help them recruit refugee talent.
