Upwardly Global

Immigrants want to rebuild their careers. Employers are looking for experienced global talent. Upwardly Global exists to bring them together. Today there are more than 1.8 million immigrants in the U.S. who are college-educated but are unemployed or significantly underemployed. In their home countries they were engineers, doctors, scientists, accountants, and nonprofit professionals. In the U.S. they become cashiers, nannies, and cab drivers, if employed at all. To solve this problem, Upwardly Global takes a two-pronged approach. On the employer side, we build partnerships with companies to provide diverse, motivated candidates with international experience. At the same time, we provide training and one-on-one coaching to immigrant professionals to help them navigate and succeed in the U.S. job search. To date, we have helped over 3000 new Americans reenter their professions! Please visit our website for more information on our work, our impact, and how you can get involved.
