You have the power to make a big impact

Your business and team thrive
Hiring refugees can help you reduce talent shortage and build skilled and diverse teams that are 33% more profitable. Refugees are also more likely to stay with the same employer than other hires—reducing attrition.
Refugees and their communities thrive
Many refugees don’t have access to formal job markets but have the skills and talent. Access to global employment can help refugees find economic stability no matter where they are and accelerate change in their communities.
