Hire a Refugee; it's Good Business for Your Business!

“I never really thought about refugees… because it was never something I thought might happen to us. I never imagined I would experience war and find myself in this situation.” Forced to leave their homes, jobs, and life because of war, persecution, and violence are refugees. By mid-2022, there were an estimated 103 million individuals who found themselves in a place and a life they never expected. In Colorado, there are around 33,910 individuals who are eligible and eager to work. From refugee to resettlement, you have the power to liberate a refugee, diversify your workforce, and improve company culture. Learn what it takes to find, hire, and retain a skilled worker. Be the entrepreneur who invests in a refugee’s story.
