New Resource from LeadingAge: Hiring Refugees in Aging Services

On January 25, 2024 by Anna Mowry

Our national partner, LeadingAge, worked with Global Refuge to create a members-only resource with recommendations for hiring, training, and building inclusive workplaces for refugees.

The new resource – Hiring Refugees in Aging Services – is designed to help providers explore refugees as a source of qualified candidates to care for the growing population of older adults in the United States.

This resource will provide you with:

• An overview of who refugees are and their status within the United States
• An understanding of how the needs of refugees align with employers and employment opportunities
• Resettlement processes and supports
• How to hire refugees
• Best practices for hiring organizations, with a focus on creating inclusive environments
• Provider case studies, contacts, and additional resources

To access the resource, make sure you are logged in to your LeadingAge account. Please note this is not the same login as your LeadingAge Minnesota account.
