LeadingAge partnered with Global Refuge to provide a members-only resource with recommendations for hiring, training, and building inclusive environments for refugees in the workplace.

The Hiring Refugees in Aging Services resource is designed to help providers explore refugees as a source of qualified candidates to care for the growing population of older adults in the United States.

The new resource provides members with:

• An overview of who refugees are and their status within the United States
• An understanding of how the needs of refugees align with employers and employment opportunities
• Resettlement processes and supports
• How to hire refugees
• Best practices for hiring organizations, with a focus on creating inclusive environments
• Additional contacts and resources
• Provider case studies
