When refugees arrive in Utah, one of our top priorities at the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Salt Lake City is to support individuals on their job search, so that they can start living independently. The IRC’s employment services team works to support adults enrolled in the early employment program to prepare for and secure their first job in the U.S. within the first three to six months post-arrival.

IRC and GenR LA held their annual bike event and Halloween carnival for asylum seeking children and refugee families at the IRC office in Glendale.

One of the IRC's first priorities when refugees arrive in Northern California is to help employable adults secure jobs that will allow them to begin covering expenses and building a new life. Some clients arrive with the professional background and necessary skills to pursue a career similar to that in their home country. To help with this, the IRC offers career development programming to clients who have already secured their survival job and are interested and ready to move forward.
