About Upwardly Global
Upwardly Global is the premier national organization working to support immigrants and refugees with international credentials to restart their careers in the United States. The organization helps thousands of work-authorized immigrants, refugees, and asylees gain employment at their skill level every year, thereby removing barriers to their integration into the U.S. workforce. Founded in 1999, Upwardly Global has achieved significant milestones in workforce inclusion, advocating for the value and potential of professionally trained immigrants and refugees.
Approximately 50% of recently arrived immigrants possess at least a bachelor's degree, yet many struggle to find jobs that match their skill sets. Upwardly Global engages with these individuals through comprehensive career coaching, skills training, and connections to employers eager to diversify their workforces. By tackling systemic barriers that prevent qualified professionals from accessing appropriate job opportunities, Upwardly Global not only assists individuals but also contributes to the economic vitality of communities across the nation.
