Opening Pathways to Good Jobs for Immigrant Workers

Spotlight

As workforce systems seek to expand economic mobility, immigrant workers remain underrepresented in quality jobs aligned with their skills. This dialogue explores how to open clearer, faster pathways to mobility for immigrants, particularly in healthcare and childcare, by addressing occupational segregation, credential barriers, and access to training. Monica Munn of World Education Services and Leonardo Castaneda of the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions will share research and successes from New Mexico and cross-sector strategies to unlock immigrant talent and connect workers to quality jobs. Ensuring immigrants can thrive is essential to building inclusive communities and economies for all.
