This last weekend I spent in DC working with UpGlo national on a collaborative Iraqi Career Summit with The List Project.
During the two-day event, over 45 Iraqi special immigrants took part in resume development, job search strategy, networking and interviewing skills workshops, while interacting with more than 100 volunteers and employers.
These new Americans were some of the most brave, intelligent, skilled, and optimistic people I have ever met. If you aren't familiar with The List Project, Upwardly Global, or immigrant & refugee issues, please get involved or ask questions. We've all got a lot to learn. Knowledge and understanding are great first steps.

The first step is welcoming our Iraqi allies into our communities.
