Mission: Employableb - Ep. 185: Immigrants, Refugees, and Employment

Immigrants and refugees are often thought of as one group of people, but there are several differences when it comes to employment.
Edgar Ramirez, Refugee Workforce Liaison for Iowa Workforce Development, joins the Mission: Employable podcast and shares with us the unique circumstances these often marginalized populations can face and how employers can seek out talent from within the refugee and immigrant communities. Also, hear Ramirez’s personal story as an immigrant and how it's shaped his identity as an American citizen.
